Prayer Warriors
We are extremely excited about the 2006/2007 Prayer Warriors Ministry. Your child is now an official Mayfair “Prayer Warrior” and will be embarking on a year-long journey that we hope will help teach them the power of prayer.
This 3rd-5th grade ministry was started by Gary Bradley in 1996 in conjunction with the Abundant Living Television Program. Oftentimes, viewers would call or write the show requesting prayers. Brother Bradley’s idea to use our elementary children to pray on their behalf evolved into the Prayer Warriors Ministry of today. Since its inception, the ministry has used each 3rd - 5th grade class (on a monthly rotating basis) to write cards that are sent to Abundant Living viewers, the sick of our own congregation, United States soldiers, and others who need our encouragement.
The ultimate goal of the ministry, however, is to teach our children the awesome power of prayer. This is where you come in. We will be working harder than ever this year to teach your child how to pray and how to look for God’s answers to our prayers. We will work to accomplish this through scripture and practical application of prayer in and out of the classroom. The catch, however, is this prayer must be emphasized at home. You may have heard the old adage that “families who pray together stay together”. This has never been more true than in today’s world.
We will be working to provide you with practical tips throughout the year to encourage prayer time with your children. During the course of the year, we may even ask you to join us during the Bible class hour to pray with your children.
If you have any questions, feedback, or concerns, I encourage you to contact me so that we can make this ministry what it is intended to be an avenue to open up the lines of communication between your children and their Creator.
For His Children,
