Welcome! We are so glad you are interested in launching a Pastor’s Prayer Partner ministry at your church. Hear directly from Dr. Robert Jeffress, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Dallas, about the impact of Pastor’s Prayer Partners on his ministry.
What is Pastor’s Prayer Partners?
Pastor’s Prayer Partners is a group of men and women committed to praying for and over the pastor, as well as for the church, as he leads and shares requests. Pastor’s Prayer Partners are to expect and be prepared to pray for the Pastor’s requests at all times.
What Distinguishes Pastor’s Prayer Partners from Other Ministries?
You might be wondering, “We already have a prayer ministry—why do we need this one?” While a church’s general prayer ministry addresses a wide range of needs, Pastor’s Prayer Partners is specifically focused on interceding for the pastor, the church’s mission, and the ongoing worship services.
Pastor’s Prayer Partners is not a replacement for your church’s prayer ministry but a complementary one. It ensures your pastor is empowered to lead effectively while the broader needs of the church are also being met. Together, these ministries strengthen the entire body of Christ.
Starting a Pastor’s Prayer Partners Ministry is Easy
Launching a Pastor’s Prayer Partners ministry is easier than you might think. With just a few committed individuals, a shared vision for prayer, and a willingness to start, you can build a foundation that will uplift your pastor and transform your church. You don’t need a perfect plan—just a heart for prayer and faith that God will guide the process. Begin small, stay faithful, and watch as God uses this ministry to bless your church in extraordinary ways.
