Prayer at Calvary
Led by the ministry staff, our purpose is to pray regularly for our church family, our community, and the world. At Calvary, we aim to make prayer a foundational aspect of every service and ministry, and to model, teach, and encourage prayer among our church members. We seek to foster a closer relationship with the Lord, ask for His guidance, and ask that He make us effective in our ministry. We also aim to grow spiritually as a community, share the Gospel, and bring glory to God in all that we do.
Our Focus
-Facilitate an all-church prayer event to cast a vision for rich corporate prayer and praise.
-To host some prayer training and be a resource to encourage prayer for every adult and child, e.g., a class and/or training for each small group.
- Appoint and establish prayer partners who would be available to pray for the congregation every Sunday, before and after the service.
- Increase and acknowledge the frequency of testimonies, prayer, and praise times (such as we did on New Year’s Day) to encourage and build each other’s faith by hearing others declare the marvelous works of God among us.
-Offering several corporate prayer gatherings monthly to put all this into practice. We learn to pray by praying. (e.g., the Wednesday evening worship-based prayer and Sat prayer).

Apps
Inner Room: Inner Room is an app from 24-7 Prayer that turns one of our biggest distractions – our mobile phones – into a portable prayer tool. Jesus said, “When you pray, go into your inner room...” (Matt:6:6). Inner Room is a prayer list app that equips, enables and inspires you to pray, each day.
