Inaugural Water the Plants Prayer Summit

March 6, 2021 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm EST

Since last summer, Disciples from across the life of the church have been praying for the new church movement.

New Church Ministry’s (NCM) church-wide Water the Plants (WtP) initiative has faithfully gathered together prayer intercessors every Tuesday morning and Thursday evening on the phone to prioritize the spiritual discipline of prayer and ask God to care for new congregations, as well as congregational, regional, and general ministers of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. We are grateful for this dedicated team that supports new worship expressions.

NCM is excited to introduce our inaugural prayer-focused virtual event, the Water the Plants Prayer Summit, on Saturday, March 6^th from 1 pm to 3 pm EST.

Attendees will pray for restoration, strength, transformation, creativity, rejuvenation, and connections. The gathering will include scripture, musical and spoken word performances, and much more. Participants will experience testimony from various church planters on how prayer has influenced their emerging collectives’ development.

With NCM Associate Minister and WtP coordinator, Joi Robinson hosting the event, our first ever Prayer Summit is a unique opportunity not to be missed.

Who’s got your back?

If you’re a new church planter or a member of a new faith community, you may have your friends, family, and colleagues in your corner.

What if we told you that you could have 1,000 intercessors praying for you as well?

That’s what our new church-wide initiative, Water the Plants, is all about.

Water the Plants is bringing together 1000 intercessors to pray for the leaders and congregations of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) New Church Movement.

The challenges of starting a church are unique. Prayer is a vital component in congregation and community development. This program aims to gather a team of dedicated supporters of new worship expressions to prioritize the spiritual discipline of prayer. Based on 1 Corinthians 3:6, “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow,” we will take a proactive approach to “watering” DOC church “plants” with prayer (Living Water).

The team will gather for regular calls and provide the Body of Christ with a calendar to serve as a guide for collective prayer. If you are interested in participating, we ask that you commit to praying for the ministries and leaders of the New Church Movement. You will receive a Prayer Calendar that will guide daily and weekly prayers during your own personal prayer times as well as during our Group Prayer times led by a New Church Ministry Prayer Leader. In addition, you will receive regular communication prayer reminders as well as a physical prayer reminder of your choice.

As part of their Covenant Agreement, intercessors will be expected to embrace a lifestyle of prayer, regularly join a prayer group by phone, and more.
