Prayer is the foundation of every significant work of God. It is through prayer that we engage with the Spirit of God, partnering with Him in His redemptive work for our city and inviting His healing power into our lives.
How to participate
At The Way Church, we are committed to being a people of prayer—through times of personal prayer, weekly prayer gatherings, and prayer ministry in our services. Once a year, we set aside 21 days to pray in unity; practicing fasting, contemplation, and intercession as a community.
We invite you to join us for 21 Days of Prayer from January 12 - February 1.
1
Use the prayer guide in personal prayer
Every day we have a unique theme that we will be focusing our prayers around. Wherever you are, we encourage you to join us in prayer for our community, our church, and our world.
2
Fast on Wednesdays.
Whether it’s for a single meal or throughout the whole day, we invite you to consider going without food as we allow our hunger to reveal our need for God as we seek Him.
3
Join us for prayer gatherings.
We invite you to prioritize time in your week to pray in community—through Weekly Prayer Gatherings, Midday Prayer, Prayer & Worship Nights, or Neighbourhood Prayer Walks.
Fasting
Going without food for the purpose of intentional times of prayer and seeking God. Fasting exposes the depths of our hearts to the love of the Father and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, revealing the things that control us.
We recognize the complexities of fasting, and understand that some individuals may choose not to fast from food. You might instead opt to abstain, for example, from social media, sugar, or television in order to create more space for prayer. We invite you to prayerfully consider what the Lord might be inviting you into during this time.
Contemplation
Prayer that engages our minds & hearts, and sometimes our imaginative ability. Contemplative prayer recognizes and sits in God's presence as we fix our gaze on Him; listening, waiting, and attending to the Spirit.
Intercession
Prayer for others and loving others through enlisting the power of heaven. Intercessory prayer stands in the gap, praying on behalf of others. We want to know what is on God’s heart and mind as we pray, agreeing with the Spirit as He intercedes for us.
Gatherings
Weekly Prayer Gatherings
Corporate prayer & worship stirs our desires for God and His Kingdom. When we gather to pray as a church, the Spirit releases signs & wonders that draw many to Him.
