helping Praying Pastors ...: helping Praying Pastors ...

Hi, I'm Joe Walsh, with Capitol Fellowship Foundation working with America's National Prayer Committee and we are conducting a community based advertising program in order to help you reach an influential group of the community and provide educational resources to local clergy. At the same time, I want you to see how this may help you the Marketplace person and business.

Here's a letter from David Butts, Chairman, introducing me and telling you a bit about the project.

"Dear Community Partners:
America's National Prayer Committee will be distributing important prayer resource books to local are clergy in order to advance prayer in your community (Note - Jeremiah 29:7). Please welcome Joe Walsh as our representative, who will in this blog explain this exciting opportunity to you.

A recent study by LifeWay of 1,300 religious leaders from around the world revealed that the top issue facing the church is "The need for more ongoing, passionate pray in both personal and church life." In response, the National Prayer Committee has launched the Praying Pastors Project in order to bring together businesses and prayer leaders within a community to assist local church leaders in becoming more effective in promoting and teaching their people to pray.

We really feel that this project will make a difference in your community. We are very appreciative for any support you can provde.

Sincerely,

David Butts
Chairman

Be a Sponsor - Change a life - Change a congregation!

The Praying Pastors Project is made possible by the generous donations of sponsors who desire to invest in the ongoing enrichment of local clergy by underwriting the cost of membership in the Praying Pastors Project. Sponsored pastors receive membership in a '4PastorsOnly' website where they find resources and a supportive community of praying pastors. They also receive the groundbreaking new book “Giving Ourselves to Prayer” and the transforming 40 day devotional "Love to Pray."

Sponsors can be individuals, churches or business owners. It is best to work through your local community coordinator to find out the specific need in your community. If your community does not yet have a project underway or if you have specific clergy that you would like to bless with a gift, you can become a sponsor through our Pray It Forward program and you can designate a certain pastor or pastors to receive the books from you as a gift.

Business owners who sponsor pastors in their communities receive additional advertising benefits through the various sponsorship levels.
