At True Words Baptist Church, our Prayer Ministry is the backbone of our spiritual growth and outreach. We believe in the power of prayer to transform lives, heal, and bring about God’s will in our community. Through our weekly prayer meetings, prayer request cards, and consistent intercession for those in need, we witness how God moves in response to faithful prayer.

Every week, we gather to pray, and we encourage everyone to get involved in our ministry of prayer. We believe that Jesus Christ answers prayers, and that through the Holy Spirit, we can intercede on behalf of others—whether they are struggling, in need of healing, or simply desiring God’s guidance.


🙏 Weekly Prayer Meeting – Thursday Night at 7 PM

Every Thursday night at 7 PM, we come together for a powerful prayer meeting where we bring the needs of the church, our community, and the world before God. We believe that prayer is a direct line to our Heavenly Father, and that He listens and answers the prayers of His people.

Key Highlights:

  • Weekly Prayer Gathering: Every Thursday night, we gather to pray for the needs of the church and community.
  • Holy Spirit-Led Prayer: We are led by the Holy Spirit as we intercede for others, praying for healing, provision, and guidance.
  • Jesus Answers Prayers: We believe in the power of prayer, trusting that Jesus Christ answers the prayers of the faithful.

Scripture on Prayer (KJV):

  • John 14:13-14“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”
  • 1 Thessalonians 5:17“Pray without ceasing.”
  • Philippians 4:6“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

📋 Prayer Request Cards – A Personal Touch for Every Need

We provide prayer request cards on the back of every seat in our church. These cards are a tool for you to share your personal prayer needs with us. Whether it’s for healing, guidance, or a prayer of thanksgiving, we encourage you to fill out a prayer request card and drop it in the offering plate.

  • Confidential Prayer Requests: We treat each prayer request with confidentiality and respect, ensuring that we pray for each need individually.
  • Weekly Prayer: Every week, we gather all the prayer requests and present them to God during our weekly prayer meetings and daily intercessions.

Scripture on Prayer (KJV):

  • Matthew 7:7“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”
  • James 5:16“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

💖 Praying for Souls Saved – A Ministry of Soul-Winning Prayer

At True Words Baptist Church, soul-winning is at the heart of our mission, and we know that prayer is a vital component of bringing people to Christ. We pray for the souls saved through our soul-winning efforts every day and week, trusting that God will continue to move in their hearts as they begin their new life in Christ.

Key Highlights:

  • Daily Intercession for the Lost: We pray every day for those who have come to Christ through our soul-winning efforts.
  • Praying for Spiritual Growth: We don’t just pray for salvation, but for the continued discipleship and spiritual growth of new believers.
  • Thanking God for His Work: We celebrate and thank God for the souls that are brought to salvation through prayer.

  • Romans 10:13“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
  • Matthew 9:37-38“Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

📅 Weekly Prayer Bulletin – Staying Connected Through Prayer

We believe in the power of community prayer and provide a weekly prayer bulletin that lists all the prayer requests, praises, and ongoing needs. This bulletin is designed to keep the church family connected and engaged in intercessory prayer throughout the week.

  • Stay Informed: The prayer bulletin includes a list of all the prayer requests, allowing everyone in the church to join in and pray for one another.
  • Encouragement in Prayer: Every week, the bulletin is distributed to encourage ongoing prayer and help the church remain in one accord as we bring our needs to the Lord.
  • Answers to Prayer: We also share testimonies of how God answers prayers, which strengthens the faith of the congregation.

Scripture on Prayer (KJV):

  • Mark 11:24“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”
  • Psalm 17:6“I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.”
