"The first time I experienced the power of prayer was in my nursing training. I was not a Christian and unknown to me, 6 of my classmates in the Nurses Christian Fellowship took me on and started praying for my salvation. I didn't want to go to church, but I kept going back week after week, until I became a Christian. The fact that I became a believer clearly showed that prayer has power."

"Prayer has been transformative and I have been blessed by the opportunity to get involved with His Kingdom work by gathering with others and praying together regularly."

"In every way, without prayer, Partners on the field may do a good work in their area of training, but will not see spiritual fruit without the Holy Spirit’s involvement. This can come from a prayer group committed to them, and lifting this work up to the only One who makes this work possible."

"It has been a blessing to lead a group who is committed to regularly pray for God’s work in the world. One doesn’t always have the discipline to commit to prayer, but praying as a group is easier. As groups continue to meet, friendships can form and that has made getting together quite special."  

"Our group has enjoyed having Interserve Partners come and share specific requests, which helps better inform us on how to pray. We’ve also been greatly encouraged and strengthened after hearing if and how God has answered the prayers."

"Reading the Partners’ newsletters help to inform our prayers. Sometimes our group is able to hear from Partners virtually via Zoom and this creates a closer connection and gives more of a personal touch."

"Thoughtful, conversational prayer back and forth amongst the group helps to create a sense of focus, commitment, and anticipation. And that, comes with the premise mentioned at the beginning: being convinced that prayer has power and without it the Kingdom of God will not advance."
