- Q 2: What is the “Moravian model of night-and-day prayer?”
A: The Moravians were a group of people in modern day Germany who started a non-stop, night and day prayer meeting which lasted for over a hundred years. This community eventually sent out missionaries to the ends of the earth, and sustained the fires of evangelism through their commitment to unceasing prayer. To learn more about the Moravians, read James’ article entitled “Restoring the Moravian Lampstand.”
- Q 3: Can I sign up to pray for more than one hour?
A: Yes, we have recently updated our programing so you can sign up for as many as seven distinct times slots per email address. The Holy Spirit may lead you to pray one or more hours – and we welcome it! However, the PrayerStorm team is only specifically asking for one single hour per week. Do as the Holy Spirit leads you.
- Q 4: Can I sign up a group to pray for an hour?
A: Yes. When possible, you are encouraged to have each of the individuals in your group prayer meeting sign up on their own. But if you are leading a group that varies in attendance and participation, then please feel free to sign up one time, to represent the entire group.
- Q 5: Do I have to pray for the topics provided by PrayerStorm?
A: As mentioned in the “How to Pray for 1 Hour Outline”, the prayer topics are intended as flexible guidelines, to be surrendered to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Make sure it is Spirit led and Spirit empowered worship and prayer.
- Q 6: How can I find out when and where other people are praying?
A: We may provide periodic updates as to the number of praying partners, and areas of the globe where we have activity. As we grow, we would like to offer more direct access to data, so that individuals can see times and locations of other PrayerStorm partners. We will develop these things in stages, as finances and opportunity allow.
- Q 7: Is there a way to find out what time slots have greater need of being filled?
A: Not at this time. See answer to number 5 above – we hope to make this type of information available in the future!
May God Richly Bless You in Your Time of Prayer!
