Send Network Louisiana prayer gatherings to kick off May 30

May 22, 2024

By Baptist Message staff

ALEXANDRIA, LA (LBM) – Prayer warriors from across the state are invited to gather online and ask God to move in the hearts of the lost in Louisiana every Thursday morning, starting May 30.

Scheduled from 6:30-7 a.m. each week, the Send Network Louisiana prayer gatherings will be broadcast via Microsoft Teams and will focus on seeing 1 percent of the state’s population come to a relationship with Christ.

The Louisiana Baptist partnership with the North American Mission Board has a God-sized vision to see His Kingdom expanded in Louisiana by one percent (about 28,000) over the next decade. Researchers estimate that 60 percent of 4,648,794 Louisianans are lost (or, 2,789,276).

If successful, 28,875 Louisianans will be added to the Kingdom through a renewed culture of evangelism among Louisiana Baptists resulting in churches reaching new people with the Gospel.

The goal of reaching 28,875 new people can be obtained with a combination of planting 231 new churches reaching 125 people with the Gospel. These salvations will be accomplished in a cooperative effort with already established Louisiana Baptist congregations.

Send Network Louisiana church planting strategist Jacob Crawford will lead most of the calls and each week will focus on different church plants and pastors in the state.

“There has never been a movement of God that has not been preceded by prayer,” Crawford told the Baptist Message. “I want to encourage our churches to mobilize our people to pray for a movement of God in our state where we will see 1 percent of the lost impacted by the Gospel of Jesus.”
