Our Strong Belief in Prayer
- We believe that God hears and answers prayer. Mark 11:23-24; James 1:5-6;
- We believe that prayer and God’s Word are the vital links in communication between God and us. Luke 6:12; Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16
- We believe it is the Holy Spirit who draws people to saving faith in Jesus Christ. God has chosen us to be His vessels in intercessory prayer for salvation on behalf of others as well as His mouthpiece to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. As a result, we believe effective evangelism is only possible when joined with much prayer. John 17:20; Heb 7:25
- We believe the battles are fought in the heavenly realms. Our greatest weapon in this spiritual warfare is prayer. Eph 6:12
- We believe that prayer should be continual and without ceasing. I Thess 5:17; 2 Thess 1:11; Acts 1:14; Eph 6:18; Col 1:9
- We believe we are to pray for everyone. Matt 5:44; Luke 6:28; James 5:16; I Tim 2:1-8
- We believe in the power of prayer. Mark 11:23-24; James 5:15
Our Intercessory Prayer Team
Our Grace Extended Ministries US and Canada prayer team with several hundred intercessors headed by Peter Carlson receives weekly email updates. Some meet via conference calls multiple times per week to pray for lost souls and over the needs of this ministry, as well as other areas as led by the Holy Spirit. We share serious immediate needs via text groups. If you would like to join this team, please contact us as noted below.
Grace Extended Ministries has thousands of intercessory prayer teams in dozens of countries in Africa and beyond. Before evangelizing an area, a prayer team is established. Often those prayer “plants” turn into church plants when new believers need a place to fellowship. These prayer teams typically meet at least weekly and hold special times of prayer and worship throughout the year.
Our African prayer director, located in Rwanda plays a vital role in keeping prayer at the forefront. She leads many large prayer conferences teaching the value of persevering listening prayer. Many regularly pray and fast seeking God through the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Grace Extended Ministries seeks to train and educate nations in Kingdom prayer (Matt 6:33). In every nation where we have a long-term presence, we require intercessory prayer teams.
Several of our team members also serve as a part of other worldwide intercessory prayer teams, fostering and benefiting from the John 17 unity that Jesus prayed for His disciples.
