When We Pray, God Works!

“Call to Me, and I will answer you and Call to me, and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” - Jeremiah 33:3

Praise God for the incredible milestone we are celebrating: the birth of our Conference's first new church plant, 1927 Church, under the leadership of Pastor Cam Scott. I believe many of you are already aware that on Sunday, September 27, at the 10:00 AM worship service, 1927 Church will officially launch its public ministry in Des Moines, Iowa.
 
We can only imagine the immense amount of work and preparation required for a launch of this scale—from securing finances and equipping volunteers to coordinating resources and building partnerships. While many of us are physically distant, we can all make a powerful impact right where we are by partnering in prayer. When we pray, God works.
 
To help us stand together in unified intercession, the Conference Prayer Team offers these nine prayer points for 1927 Church:
  1. Christ as the Head: Pray that we never forget Jesus Christ is the ultimate leader of the church. True success comes from the Lord, and He is the One who will sustain this ministry as we work together to fulfill His Great Commission.
  2. Guidance and Clarity: Pray for divine wisdom and absolute clarity in all decision-making, budgeting, vision implementation, administration, and ministry plans.
  3. Protection for Leadership: Pray for godly wisdom, humility, unity, and spiritual protection over Pastor Cam, the launch team, and their families. Pray for their emotional health and that they are guarded against undue pressure.
  4. Receptive Hearts and Discipleship: Pray that God prepares the hearts of the Des Moines community, sparking a deep desire for a personal relationship with Jesus. Pray that the church will effectively make disciples and equip believers for the harvest.
  5. Supernatural Provision: Pray for abundant fruits from the "barn-raising" efforts. May God miraculously provide every necessary financial and ministry resource, opening doors even when standard options seem stalled. We also pray for blessings upon everyone giving generously to this ministry.
  6. Divine Connections: Pray for a profound spiritual hunger across Des Moines, and for open doors and divine connections that reach every generation in the community.
  7. A House of Prayer: May 1927 Church stand firmly on God’s Word and remain deeply devoted to prayer (Acts 2). May it become a house of prayer and pure worship where God delights to dwell, sparking a revival across Iowa and our entire Conference.
  8. Global Multiplication: Pray that this launch paves the way for many more fruitful church plants and outreach ministries throughout the USA and the world, especially among unreached people groups and persecuted nations.
  9. A Closing Doxology of Praise: Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
