quotes from Chapter 44 How to Build a House of Prayer by Dave Butts
"One of the most critical decision for a church is the formation of a prayer ministry team. A common mistake is to fill that team with those whose major passion and ministry is that of intercession.... The prayer ministry team is essentially an organizing, serving and administrative group. Look for those who believe in the power of prayer and have gifts of organization and serving."
"Prayers that emerge out of times of worship are typically much more God-centered than man-centered. These times of prayer stay fresh and dynamic because of their focus on God."
"Becoming a house of prayer is far more than adding a prayer meeting to an already hectic church calendar. It is a church in which prayer has become pervasive in all aspect of church life. Leaders and member of the congregation cannot imagine prayer not being a part of everything they do."
