This group is called the Prayer Warriors or the Power House. This is due to the obligations fostered on them. Though every Christian has the obligation to pray, this group is specifically saddled with the obligation to pray for the church and “lift up the hands of Moses” – the Moses in this case being the Pastor-in-Charge at various levels of administration of the church.
FUNCTIONS OF THE PRAYER BAND DEPARTMENT
1. Praying constantly for the church
2. Voluntarily and personally waiting on God with self denial e.g. fasting to seek God’s face
3. Standing in the gap for individual members of the church who are facing challenges.
4. Anchoring prayer sections before and during services/special programmes
5. Providing regular reports of the activities of the department to the Pastorate.
6. Ensuring that the prevailing spiritual fire on the altar does not recede.
