House of Prayer Leadership with Brad Stroup

You can’t afford not to market; if no one knows that you are there then no one will come to your prayer meetings. In our modern context, promotion is just as much a responsibility of the leadership as paying the bills in order for the ministry to operate and grow. Keeping in mind that the primary audience for most house of prayer ministries is going to be the 20 year old crowd your effort need to be aimed in a specific direction and your presentation matters. This leadership track covers variety of subjects related to branding and promoting your ministry in a way that makes people aware of what you are doing in order to hopefully get new people to come visit.

The purpose of this leadership track is to identify some of the practical administrative efforts necessary to run your prayer ministry.  Most of these concepts are not unique to the house of prayer but would be helpful for getting any sort of ministry started.  It’s been my experience that many of those who the Lord is calling to build His house are pioneers who have never had to form a ministry before and don’t have anywhere to identify the proper steps to take.  When we started off I certainly had zero experience to these simple steps; not even enough exposure to them to know that these where things I was supposed to do.  Now that we’ve been helping ministries launch for some years we’ve found the details of this session to be invaluable for many.

Every leader wants for their prayer ministry to grow and we are constantly looking for ways to get new people involved.  But the nature of the house of prayer asks people to do something they aren’t used to; to actually commit to spend time each week in a room with other believers to pray. As is turns out not everyone that you meet will want to make this commitment or be willing to continue doing it long term.  This means that for your prayer ministry to continue to grow you will constantly need to be recruiting new people into the vision.  This series focuses on ideas and systems that have proven to be effective in bringing in new faces that you can present the vision of the house of prayer and call to lives of prayer.

The call to keep regular prayer meetings going is rigorous work.  In order for people to stay the course of making prayer a priority in the midst of our culture people need to be filled with revelation about why and clear about the impact they are having.  It is essential that the leaders of prayer ministries clearly and regularly present the vision and then continue to keep the vision before the people or they will not have the sustaining grace to stay steady through the years.  This series focuses on the what, why and how of vision casting.

The main task of the director of a prayer ministry is to recruit and organize people to pray.  We live in an event driven culture where people will show up for a one off prayer event that is promoted well, but the story is a very different when you start talking about building a culture of prayer where prayer meetings happen every day in an ongoing way.  The most important reality for the existence of a house of prayer is that there be people in the room everytime you have scheduled prayer meetings but this is the single most difficult thing to get our noncommittal generation to actually do in a sustained way.  This series provides some ideas on how to navigate that and help people be successful in making and keeping commitments to come together for prayer.
