So 2022 is here and The Prayer Garden has a new project. We have spent the last year building up a server, seeing what works, what doesnt. One thing we have noticed is we have all gotten closer. Almost like the distant between us no longer mattered because Christ connected us. We are now feeling led to expand to churches. We are gonna be creating seprate servers for these Churches, with the Prayer Garden being a hub to connect them all. The Church server will be run by the church its for, with the prayer Garden ambassadors just being there for support. We only have a few requests. 1) that the church preaches the power of prayer 2) the church preaches for us to read our bibles DAILY 3) the church preaches for it's people to be the light and love for others 4) that they allow there church people to join the prayer Garden and are willing to work thru the differences with unity thru Christ being the goal.
Goal of Church server: to provide a 24/7 place that your church group can grow and build relationships using the power of technology. We are not asking u to give up or change anything. This server is just an added element to help your church grow and provide a place got them to go at all times. Our team will work for u building up the church server how u see fit.
Goal of the Prayer Garden: we want this to be a hub where globally all of us can come together. We can prayer and help lift up all the churches on the Prayer Garden network. Church leaders can learn from other church leaders with the focus being building up the Church of Christ. One body. One family. All working for his glory. While at the same time still being able to be your own church. The Prayer Garden doesnt wanna be a church. Rather we want to connect Gods children regardless of petty differences.
So this project is still coming together but my heart needed to get this out. If you belong to a church that u feel fits this framework, then we would love to hear from u. It is time to come together thru Christ. Not all churches are bad. We want to find those and tie it all together. I would love to hear your thoughts.
We will not be in a position to reach out to the sinners and tax collectors in imitation of our Master Yeshua unless we ourselves are plugged in to the power and wisdom that guided him. To follow in his footsteps we must come together in a singleness of purpose and mind - not being scattered to the four winds because the enemy of our soul is trying to divide and isolate us. Sounds like this project is a step in the right direction to accomplish this mission that is so vital. This evil may have temporarily succeeded to some degree on the physical front by separating us and in some cases shutting us down. But, we can utilize the cyber space as a go around in order to come together - in essence using the enemy's own space to bring him down.
Iron sharpens iron and we are called to live a God centered life. But, that God centered life is not an excuse to not reach out to the lost and gather them in if possible. It is not that the Master found fault in the religious of his day as to their relationship with God - what he faulted them for was their ungodly behavior towards each other and their tendency towards isolation and non charity - they separated themselves from their own brethren that they considered on the outside and wicked. That generation was judged because of its baseless hatred - especially for the lost. May we not be judged the same.
I pray this project brings the various parts of the body together in order to continue with the Master's mission of seeking that which was lost and supporting each other in the process. God bless you Slechta5614 and your endeavors.
