The heart of our "Ablaze for God" series is prevailing prayer. "Call on my and I will answer you," declares the Lord (Jer.33:3)
So, dear Hayward Wesleyan Church family, we are calling on you to pray! Let's not just talk about prayer -- let's enter into it.
We are going to enter a special season of prayer during the Ablaze for God series. This is a time to be more intentional and focused in our praying:
1) Prayer Vigil, Sept. 19-20:
We will hold a Prayer Vigil at the church from midnight (Friday night), Sept. 19 - to midnight (Saturday night), Sept. 20. The sanctuary will be open for prayer. We encourage you to stop by any time during that 24 hour period to join in the prayer.
2) 168 Prayer:
Coming out of the prayer vigil, we plan to have someone praying 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the Ablaze for God series. As there are 168 hours in a week, we are looking for 168 people who will commit one hour a week to pray -- for special needs and spiritual renewal for our own hearts, our families, our congregation, our community, our nation, and our world. Sign up at the Welcome Center, contacting the church office (715-634-4613.)
Helpful material will be available to assist and guide you in this important prayer effort.
When God wants to do a mighty work, He sets his people to praying!

Dear Church,
I hope you are all out there praying even while you are reading Mark's column. Our community, our country and our world needs our heartfelt prayers. Don't be afraid to step up and bravely add your prayer. Do it often and pray with all of your heart.
Amen, Andi Wittwer
