One of Team Expansion’s prayer pattern is to participate in a monthly Day of Extraordinary Prayer and Fasting. God has never blessed a nation with a church multiplication movement except in the context of Extraordinary Prayer. “Without prayer, the Christian life, robbed of its sweetness and its beauty, becomes cold and formal and dead; but when rooted in the secret place where God meets and walks and talks with His own, it will grow into such a testimony of divine power that all men will feel its influence and be touched by the warmth of its love. Thus, resembling our LORD and Master, we will be used for the glory of God and the salvation of our fellow men.” – EM Bounds. Pray that Team Expansion as an organization, and that we as the body of Christ would engage more fully in Extraordinary Prayer and tell testimony of God’s power to multiply churches.
