INCREASE PRAYER, TRANSFORM A NATION

An invitation to hope… 

What could it be like if we gathered together to encounter God in worship, to seek his face in prayer, to hear his word and listen to his voice more often across the Nation?

God’s word reminds us in Zechariah 4:6 that it’s “Not by might, nor by power but by my Spirit says the Lord” and Jesus also reiterates that when he says in John 15: “Apart from me you can do nothing”.

This is a crucial time for us as disciples to come together and increase prayer for the church and the nation.

So our vision is to create opportunities to gather people from a group of churches in a town/city/region to pray together for Increase. There are various ways we would invite you to get involved:

  • Regional Gatherings
  • National Prayer Intensives (our first was held in March ’23, for church leaders and leadership teams)
  • National Online Prayer Gatherings (for everyone, throughout the year)

All the details for the Increase Regional Gatherings can be found here.

 

Hundreds of you have already gathered in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ayrshire, Inverness, the Moray coast, Dumfries and there are more being planned throughout the rest of this year!

In 2023 we hosted 14 gatherings all around the country, and continue to do so  in 2024.

We will post details of organised regional gatherings here and on social media when we have them- if your church is interested in hosting a gathering please contact lisa@scottishbaptist.org.uk.

We are creating space for 4 key aspects to each evening:

  • Encounter & Expectation
  • Encouragement
  • Attentiveness, & creative ways to help people do this
  • Intercession

We already have a number of areas signed up to host a regional prayer gathering – meeting together for refreshments, being led in worship, inspired and encouraged by God’s word and stories of what he is doing and of course praying together – with a focus on being attentive to what the Lord is saying to us as well as seeking his face and interceding for our local and global concerns.

Friends from the locations will be leading worship and getting creative with prayer stations and cake! And members of the National BUS team will be coming along too to share what we sense God is doing and saying amongst our churches. 

We would love to be known as a family of churches who pray together regularly and with fervency and expectation.
