We are a praying Church! One of our primary ministeries is to pray for the needs and concerns of others. We partner together in prayer for the lost, for the hurting, and for Christian maturity. The following is a model that we use at FBCM and suggest for your use in your personal daily prayer life. Charis is the Greek word for grace. It is only by the grace of God that we can pray and know that God hears our prayers. So by God’s grace, pray.

"“Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."
James 5:13-16
