- A prayer and encouragement warrior offers intentional devotion in the name of Jesus for specified persons and programs. Every week, the “First Family News” lists names of members and non-members who have communicated to our church staff a request for prayer, and a prayer and encouragement warrior could pore over the list, reach out and communicate if/when appropriate, and correspond with church staff about updates. Every week, ministry happens in and around our church facility, and a prayer and encouragement warrior could walk the grounds and pray for the manifestation of the Spirit’s work. Ministry partners and missionaries, moms and dads, members and guests, momentous events and the regular monotony, known maladies and yet-to-be-known neighbors… every person and occasion needs prayer. A prayer and encouragement warrior knows the God who is up to the task and persistently approaches His throne with humble petitions.
- **Please note that we want and need overlap between the designated tasks of this position and EVERY area of ministry conducted. Prayer is not isolated to a few but to all, while a few will also commit to interceding for all.
- A prayer and encouragement warrior stands at the ready for specific needs and notices that might arise, but also, he/she may commit to a recurring practice like walking the grounds once-a-month, working through the First Family News each week, or coming early on Sunday mornings to pray for our corporate gathering. Respectful confidentiality is required, gossip is not condoned.
