A LINE FROM DANNY

Growing churches place a priority on prayer. This issue of the Framework Weekly will offer some articles, helps, and guidance in this important area.

Note: My church, First Baptist Church, Franklinton, La. went over its high attendance goal as a part of an “I Love Sunday School” high attendance day on February 29. This was the largest one day
Sunday school attendance in the history of the church! Praise God!

BOOK ON PRAYER

Power House (A Step-By-Step Guide To Building A Church That Prays) by Glen Martin & Dian Ginter

“Power Hose has helped fill an enormous gap in the literature on prayer. Surprisingly, books on prayer in the local church are few and far between, and this amazingly practical book can be just what your church needs to turn the corner toward a new and dynamic prayer life.” C. Peter Wagner, Professor of Church Growth, Fuller Theological Seminary.

PRAYER QUOTE

“Churches have been holding prayer meetings for years, but in many cases they haven’t seen growth because Christians seldom petition God for growth. They don’t pray specifically for the conversion of close friends and lovedd ones. They don’t pray for families by name. They don’t pray that new churches will be planted. They don’t pray for the discipling of young believers. In
other words, they don’t pray intelligently for growth.” Donald McGavran and Win Arn

WEBSITE RECOMMENDATION

A great website to let missionaries know about is www.missiophone.com. This site has lots of services that many missionaries probably do not know exist. This site can be a tremendous help with missionary burnout because it allows families, supporters, and churches to stay in better contact with missionaries without spending a fortune.
