Synopsis
Jesus calls us to take His love and power outside the walls of the Church. We know we should, but how?Street Level Prayer will not only inspire you do that, but will teach you how to do it in a loving, caring way. This book will help you:•Use prayer as a way to connect people with God•Overcome the fear of doing outreach•Help people experience the love of God•Bring healing to the sick, broken and lost•Lead people in receiving Christ•Discover your spiritual gifts, and much more!I want to say right from the outset that I have an agenda: to transfer an ethos of loving people the way Jesus loves them into doing outreach. Our goal should be that people experience the love of God when we encounter them on the street. That happens when we treat them with care and respect. If we really love people, and they in turn experience the love of God in that relational exchange, then we have won! Not everyone we pray for is healed, and not all with a request get their prayer answered in the way they were hoping. But it is my conviction that every time we pray with people, something good does happen, and that good begins with the love of God exhibited. That is the whole key!This book in organized into three sections:Part 1: TRAINING. This is a “how to” of sorts recounting what I have learned, much of it in the “school of hard knocks.” Part 2: TESTIMONIES. These are a few of the stories of what God did in the Prayer Booth ministry. The purpose of sharing these “highlights” is to inspire you, the reader, to actually go out and do something like this. It is also to give God glory in recalling what He has done, and to build up a trust and confidence in you that He desires to do even more through you. Part 3: TOOLS. This section will give you the “nuts and bolts” details and some “do’s and don’ts.” It is a summary of some of what is discussed in Part 1, with some practical advice on how to get going in this specific ministry.
