Creating a Prayer Cell

Guidelines and Suggestions for a Prayer Cell

Prayer is the critical avenue to support and promote the Mid India Church Partners (MICP) and our Team in India. It is of more value and power than monetary resources.

How to Organize a Prayer Cell:

• Determine whether you have a passion for praying for our Team in India
• Prayerfully consider the commitment you will need to invest to initiate an effective Prayer Cell
• Make a list of friends and acquaintances who might join you in prayer for India
• Invite those you have selected to be a part of your Prayer Cell – be sure to clearly communicate the purpose of the Prayer Cell and the time (and place) of prayer
• Your Prayer Cell can be either conducted face-to-face, on the phone, or via ZOOM (or similar)

Suggestions for Conducting the Prayer Cell:

• Begin promptly at the announced time, and do not get into the habit of waiting for late arrivals
• Open the prayer time by reading the words of a worship song or reading a selection of verses from the Bible that apply to prayer
• Go over the monthly Partner Connection page (you can receive this by requesting to be placed on the list – email request to director@midindia.org)
• This is specifically a time to pray for MICP, be careful not to allow it to become a general prayer time or even a gossip time
• Plan to spend at least 15 minutes (or more) in prayer. Note: Conver­sational type prayer is the best style to engage all present
