The Power of Group Prayer

Revival starts when people pray together. Christians often dream about the possibility of revival. But revival doesn't come because we wish or plan for it. Revival occurs when groups of people pray together. However, praying together effectively doesn't come easily, and we're often left wondering how to best engage in the work of intercession. Carolyn Carney offers a practical guide for those who want something more than 'just another prayer meeting.' Drawing from decades of ministry experience, The Power of Group Prayer includes stories and practices for corporate prayer, reflection questions, and supplemental resources to help build powerful intercession groups. Pastors, small group leaders, and campus ministry leaders-or anyone who wants a deeper prayer life-will be equipped to lead others in the kind of prayer that is necessary for effective, resilient ministry. Praying together has the power to transform you and the world around you. Come to a place of deep intimacy with God as you learn ways to pray in community.
