PRAYER
‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 4:6-7

DAILY PRAYER POINTS
CULTURE OF PRAYER AT CROYDON VINEYARD
Throughout the ages, Jesus’ church has prioritised and treasured prayer as a fundamental way that we connect with God and see His Kingdom come. Prayer sits at the heartbeat of almost every historical and recent global awakening. At Croydon Vineyard we want to build a culture of prayer and intercession all across the church that sees us increasingly become a church where:
the hand of the Lord is visibly upon us
many diverse people are united in worship of Jesus
the gospel of the Kingdom is powerfully preached
many people are coming to faith
dramatic transformation of lives is taking place
people are receiving prophetic words which show them the purpose & mission of their lives
the poor among us are valued, cared for and empowered for a better future
we raise up and send out leaders who grow the global Vineyard Movement and contribute to a lasting resurgence in the UK Church
