Acts 2:42

"They (the believers) devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer"     

Prayer Ministry

The Prayer Ministries is essential in the life of KBC.  It is spread widely and includes various activities and opportunities for prayer.  Details of times of the various prayer ministries are given in the Sunday church bulletin. Included in the bulletin is a weekly Prayer Focus flyer which can be used as a reminder of prayer items of the church  family at KBC and further afield. Members and adherents are reminded that the early Christians " devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" (Acts 2:42).

The formal prayer ministries include a prayer time in the church hall before the morning and evening services .  This prayer time is open to all and members and adherents are encouraged to participate in these prayer times.

Additionally, the first Wednesday of the month, after work, is set aside for prayer. This Wednesday prayer time is also open to all and we encourage all to come on their way from work. The prayer time is not necessarily a fixed time, so people can join in and leave to suit their own schedule.

The Prayer Ministries also include two Intercessory Prayer fellowships on a Tuesday morning. The focus is to pray for others and their needs.

The Prayer Chain continues to function each morning and each evening and anyone in crisis, needing prayer, can phone Meredith requesting prayer.  Please take advantage of this ministry, being fully assured that all requests are kept in the strictest of confidence.

The Intercessory Prayer Roster under the oversight of Phyl Beck focuses on praying for each person associated with KBC on a regular ongoing basis. The intercessor is given a roster with five or so people in the church to pray over for a few months. The roster changes every few months. "My house will be called a house of prayer"     (Matt. 21: 13).   

Special Prayer Ministries

Special prayer meetings are called from time to time to pray for special and specific needs. At present, on the first Wednesday of each month, a special prayer meeting is held from 6.00 pm to 6:45pm to pray specifically for God's leading in the process of calling a pastor to the work at KBC. All are invited and encouraged to attend these prayer meetings.

An open invitation and opportunity to be prayed for is being introduced immediately after the church Service. We encourage people who have need for prayer particularly following the message from God's word to remain after the Service and come to the front pew and the Elders will be available to pray with the person.

The Elders will also respond to requests from church members who are sick and request the Elders, according to James 5:14,  to pray over them and anoint him (or her) with oil in the name of the Lord.
