2008 renewal prayer movement (rpm)
a church-wide call to spiritual renewal		 << previous page

The great pastor and theologian of the 1700s, Jonathan Edwards, said with forcefulness that one of the great opportunities of the Church is to “seek direction from the mouth of God” in prayer. We are told in Colossians 4:2, “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving. The Apostle Paul adds in Ephesians 6:18 that as the Lord’s people we are to be “praying always with all prayer and asking in the Spirit, being careful and attentive with all perseverance to pray for one another.”

The great year of 2008 will be a year of prayer and turning to the Lord for spiritual healing, revival and renewal within our hearts. Everyone who desires to can join the Renewal Prayer Movement. RPM is a simple, grassroots prayer commitment of the New Hope Church family to invite the Lord to refresh and renew our hearts from the inside out. We will seek the Lord together in prayer. Only the Holy Spirit can empower RPM to move from a prayer method into a prayer movement. May he anoint us with power as we seek him relentlessly.
