A Model for Prayer Ministry
- Questioning
- ask what the person wants Jesus to do for them today
- Waiting
- keep dialogue to a minimum
- watch while you pray silently
- Listening
- to the Holy Spirit
- to the person
- Praying
- silently: in tongues
- aloud: inviting, asking, blessing
- together: confessing, thanking
- Exercising gifts
- discerning the Father’s will
- laying hands on the person
- speaking out scripture
- words of knowledge, pictures and wisdom
- Referring
- see your doctor
- would you a member of the pastoral team to visit in the week?
- would you like to talk to a pastoral leader?
- would you like to come back next week?
- Concluding
- pray for protection
- pray for God’s love to surround the person
