Congregations seeking revitalization can take heart. Jesus has already prayed for their unity so that they may share his love with the world! The Does Your Church Have a Prayer? Leader's Guide presents a model of Christian transformation to guide a congregation through a journey of spiritual renewal in fulfillment of Jesus' prayer in John 17. The accompanying Participant's Guide consists of a six week plan of Bible studies that, along with sermons and worship, will help generate congregational feedback critical to establishing a twenty-four month action plan for the congregation. Each week's study offers a prayer to open time together, questions to encourage scriptural reflection, and questions to facilitate thought and input as the congregation makes intentional decisions regarding its mission and ministry.
