Prayer From the Tower

In the short life of Experience Life we realize that Easter weekend is a key time in the life of our church.  Our mission is for people to experience life by experiencing Jesus, community and service.  Each Easter more people visit churches than any other time of the year.  Because we are trying to reach the unchurched our Easter is enormous.  We have seen many make first time commitments to Christ and alongside that we have seen a whole lot of spiritual warfare, therefore the need for extra prayer during this season.

So on good Friday we had an extra prayer time with two objectives in mind.  Pray for Experience Life and pray for the city as Easter is upon us.

The NTS Tower is a strategic place in the city of Lubbock.  It is the highest building in Lubbock and has windows around 3 sides so it overlooks the city.   You get to see the city as you pray.  We had 73 people come and pray.  We prayed for those involved in our services and then each person was given a list of the churches in the city and we looked out upon the city and prayed over these churches.

We continue to be convinced that personal prayer changes individuals but corporate prayer changes cities, regions and even nations.
