PRAYER FOR PASTORS

Scott McKay is part of our intercessory prayer community here at Gateway. The Lord has given him a passion for prayer and Scott would like to share an idea he has with our church.

Given that our church is expanding and we are moving forward in Christ, it has become clear to me the absolute necessity of praying for Pastor Aaron and the staff for a few minutes DAILY. I would ike that everyone who wanted to commit to, say,  10 minutes a day chose one time to pray. (You may have to juggle that around at first.)
My hope is that , there will be enough of us that our pastors will have a team of people praying for them every waking minute of the day- or at the very least some time during every hour. (Actually, one day I’d love to have enough people to cover all 24 hours.)

 Finally, I like the wording of the old King James version of James 5:16 which says,” The effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous [ that’s us, in Christ] AVAILETH MUCH.” And because our prayers do accomplish much, the enemy will try repeatedly to prevent us from wielding such a dangerous but powerful weapon. But  I decree: we will prevail.  Our pastors are worth it. Let's do it!!!

Would You Like To Join Our Team In City-Wide Prayer?

A number of churches around Victoria are organizing corporate prayer together. Each church is covering a certain day of the month. Gateway's day is the FOURTH TUESDAY of every month.

Churches around the city will be joining in the same prayer, the prayer that Jesus offered to His Father for His followers before going to the Cross.  In John 17, His prayer was:
Verse 15:  "Protect them from the evil one...";
Verse 16:  “Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth.";
Verse 21:  "That they may be one as we are one...";
Verse 26:  "In order that the love you have for me may be in them."
