"The power of prayer is not in the prayer itself, but in the one who hears it. -Max Lucado |
One of the most important parts of what goes on behind the scenes of A&B (correction: the most important part) is prayer. All that we attempt and all that happens at A&B is only going to have a limited effect unless we have proper prayer coverage. I'm not saying God won't do things without prayer, what I'm saying is that He'll do even more if we are on our knees asking Him to. For that reason we have one of the classrooms at the school designated as a prayer room.Throughout the course of an A&B, from the time the school opens at 4:00 until A&B is over, the prayer room is open and available to any and all who wish to come and pray for A&B. It may seem like a small thing and it may sound boring but believe me, I've been in there. It is huge and is as far from boring as you can get. If you wish to see the youth of our town touched and changed I encourage and challenge you to come and pray for A&B. Maybe you're not much of a prayer person, that's OK! All God wants is someone who is willing to come before Him with an honest and humble heart. So for all of you out there: For those of you who enjoy coming to A&B: come out early and pray for the evening. For those of you older folks who don't usually come: Come out during A&B and pray for the youth of your church and town. You won't regret it. I promise you.
