Desiring greater missional fruitfulness as a Pentecostal family, we long to connect more deeply with the Spirit, who in turn will empower us to continue reaching out in love to those around us. We hear His call to engage with the world in fresh ways with the truth of the gospel and loving expressions of His care. (See The Calgary Call.) We have a distinct sense of the urgency of this mission echoing from the heart of God. It is a call for the salvation of humanity—a call to which we are all invited to respond and participate.





 


Ephesians 6:18
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
 
Romans 15:30
I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
 
Colossians 1:9
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives…
 
Romans 8:26
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
