Not to us

Echo Church is re-launching! For the past year we've been building our core and now we're going to do some publicity. But publicity is nothing without God. In preparation for the re-launch we are going to have 30 Days of Prayer beginning Saturday, July 8th. We're trying to find 100 prayer partners to join us for this concentrated time of prayer as we seek God's spirit and vision for the city and our community. You can check out the website for more details, as well as updates throughout the month. There you can download a prayer guide for the 30 days and a reminder card.

Prayer is something I'm passionate about. I wouldn't have admitted it outloud, but it used to be that when I prayed I had this feeling deep down that it didn't matter. "Well, it would be nice if this worked out," I would think to myself, but for some reason I doubted that God was always listening and acting. Now things have changed. Over the past few years I've had some experiences and God has revealed his power and faithfulness to our prayers. One of my favorite verses that speaks to the power of prayer is 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." Another great book to check out on prayer, besides the Bible, is Red Moon Rising - it's a great book on the 24-7 prayer movement.
