All Church Prayer Network

As a result of her popular and best-selling book, Effective Fervent Prayer, Mary-Alice Isleib has been facilitating Prayer Seminars and launching 24-7 All Church Prayer Networks in churches nationwide. This all-church event consists of services where Mary Alice trains the believers to pray effectively and then activates them to PRAY!

The seminar/launching process
In the first services, she gives empowering teachings that are practical and very applicable for believers of all ages and levels. Participants will be able to use a variety of bible-based prayers as powerful, effective tools after attending this seminar.

During the services, names and times for half-hour time slots will be collected. Members can choose to pray five or seven days, (giving consideration to their lifestyle, personality and schedule)-but must be consistent. A spreadsheet and sign-up card format are provided to help in this process. Before the last service we will be sure the entire clock is covered with participants at every half hour. With everyone participating according to his or her unique schedule we will have the clock covered every day and hour of the week!

The conclusion of the seminar is a launching/anointing service used to mobilize the church members into a 24-7 All Church Prayer Network. The network is a working structure for the spirit of prayer to flow continually in and through the church. The pastor will provide five prayer topics per month for participants to cover during their half-hour.

After the launching services, round-the-clock prayer is flowing, not just through intercessors, but also from the whole church family. Your regular prayer meetings and prayer chains continue as desired, with the network as a supplement involving the whole church in an organized, unique, and powerful way.

Follow-up
Mary Alice or one of her qualified associates will then return every six to eight weeks for a "fire-up" service; and after some time will turn the network over to an appointed, trained leader in the church.

Personalization
The 24-7 All Church Prayer Network can be tailor-made and personalized for each individual local church. Smaller churches can join together to launch a network that will meet the needs of each church, as well as work together to cover the initial costs of the seminar.

If your church is not ready for launch of full network, you can start with a prayer seminar, and launch the network at a later time. You may also decide that you want to start the network and use it only for a season, and then repeat it at different times and occasions in your church life.

Summary

WHO -Any believer in a local church committed to pray for a half-hour in their daily schedule.

WHERE -Prayer is done from a location where believers are during their half-hour committed time-work, home, car, walk, etc. If the regular time is missed one day, it can be made up any other time in that day.

WHAT -Each participant will pray for four or five prayer topics/issues decided on by the church leadership, and can be changed anytime the leadership feels directed. These can be for a variety of needs, but primarily related to the overall vision and work of the church, always beginning with prayer for revival. A prayer sheet is given to the network participants with the subjects and some scriptures to assist.

WHY -The New Testament directive is for corporate prayer to be a part of church life, with every believer having a role to play. The network establishes church-wide prayer participation, reaching toward a common goal, praying with the same focus, and feeling the thrill of an easily maintained prayer life.

HOW -Believers are taught to pray primarily with the Word of God, and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
