Welcome to the Alliance Pray! website. This site contains resources from the work the Alliance Pray! Team did over a 20-year period. The goal of this Team was to teach and mobilize prayer in our churches leading to revived church.
“The Legacy” tab gives a history of the Team and the work they did.
The “College of Prayer” tab lists the 16 modules that were held across Canada and links to media so that the content can be used in your church.
“Ignite Events” details some of the efforts to further the teaching of prayer in various churches across Canada.
“Pray First” was originally used to raise prayer for CBC/CTS as they moved from Regina SK to Calgary AB, eventually becoming Alliance University College. When that was no longer needed, the site was used for various prayer resources for a local church.
Feel free to explore and use the resources to strengthen prayer in your own church.
How To Pray for Anyone
Pray a BLESSing on them. Use the letters of the word "bless" to remember five important ways to intercede for others:
L - Labor - work, income, security
E - Emotion - joy, peace, hope
S - Social - love, marriage, family, friends
S - Salvation, faith, grace
"A Prayer Walk Thru the Bible", Dr. Alvin Vander Griend
The Alliance Pray! Team (APT) was formed to mobilize prayer in the C&MA in Canada. This team was composed of pastors and lay leaders who desired to assist and equip pastors and local churches. APT invited participation from each district to reflect the needs of district churches and to provide encouragement and resources for each district. Alliance Pray! served as an umbrella organization for College of Prayer and Ignite Prayer.
The Canadian family of churches declared that we will do nothing until we pray. The sentiment is great but the reality takes more intentional action.
Even though the Team has been disbanded, the legacy in lives and churches continues to encourage people to pray.
