The Well Resources

Make Disciples. Plant Churches.

For our very first Worship & Prayer Night some areas we wanted to pray for corporately included:

  • The Well
  • Abilene
  • Our Nation
  • The Global Church
  • All Nations

We’d like to encourage you to keep praying over these topics as the Spirit leads, whether it is with others or on your own.

Praying in groups gives us unique opportunity to pour out our hearts to the Father, who knows and hears our prayers. It  ALSO gives opportunity to learn from those we pray with as we hear them pour out THEIR hearts to their Father.  Corporate prayer is truly such a gift to us and I hope it has and will bless you as we spend time in His presence making our requests known to Him.
