An Invitation

Posted April 1, 2022

God is moving across the world, building His Kingdom, and He’s inviting us to be part of that! How? One essential way–faithful prayer.

“Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matt. 6:10

The incredible thing about prayer is that it joins us in the work God is already doing, that we maybe were oblivious to. We know He’s building His Kingdom, but where and how? In prayer, we cultivate our relationship with God, conform our hearts to His will, and through that we observe and participate in His work. Because we have direct access to the Father (Heb. 10:19, Eph. 2:18) and He hears our prayers, why wouldn’t we want to pray?

We are amazed at God’s astounding work and answered prayer at Maranatha:

God has cultivated unexplainable leadership unity. He’s showcasing His faithful provision by meeting practical camp needs that we couldn’t have planned (see a few below). He’s instilling passion for Maranatha in people we would never expect. He’s convicting hearts and challenging dads to spiritually invest in and pray earnestly for their kids; something we definitely have no power over. He’s challenging people to be more involved in their local churches. He continues to draw new people to the camp–both to serve and to attend.

And that’s just in the last few months!

Will you partner in God’s work by praying with us?
