BHBC Prayer Ministry
The vision of the BHBC Prayer Leadership Team is that everyone in our church will know through experience and practice that everything they seek to accomplish in their personal growth and in their work for the Lord must first begin with prayer - that each person will seek personal cleansing, repentance, and supernatural praying. We want our church family to view ourselves first as people who pray and then as people participating in organized prayer through the prayer ministry.
The goal for our church is that we will be a "...house of prayer...", Isaiah 56:7. So everyone is encouraged to be part of the BHBC Prayer Force in addition to other areas of service. If you have a prayer request, please submit that information in the form below. If you would like to know more about opportunities for service, see further down.
