Prayer Ministry Volunteer

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

As a Prayer Ministry volunteer, you will support the Prayer Ministry Team leaders in listening to and praying with guests following evening Celebrations. You may also be called on to offer prayer support during afternoon meetings where the session may be on a sensitive topic.

We look to model prayer ministry to the wider church community, so where appropriate in the evenings, this will take place at the front and sides of the venue. There will be appropriate space available for more confidential prayer.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• To be involved in prayer ministry teams or equivalent in your local church or a wider Christian context.
• To attend training with the Prayer Ministry Team leader before the Spring Harvest event.
• To follow our Prayer Ministry Guidelines (which will be sent to you on application for the role). These Guidelines are to promote clarity and unity across the teams, and to ensure that we are sensitive, wise and open to the different perspectives represented by the guests attending the event.

Spring Harvest appreciates the wide diversity of church backgrounds represented among guests, and to minimise the risk of causing offence or distress, prayer ministry volunteers will be asked to comply with our prayer ministry guidelines. This may mean that some routine practices in home churches may not be appropriate.

VOLUNTEERS MUST BE:

• Over 18 years of age
• A committed Christian, regularly and actively involved in a local church
• Able to provide church leader referee details
• Happy to serve within the EA Basis of Faith and Lausanne Covenant
• Willing and able to attend one of our Prayer Ministry training sessions before Spring Harvest. These will be held in Halesowen, Axminster, London and Manchester. Full details will be given to you on registration. If you know you will not be able to attend one of these sessions, please still complete the application and we will see what we can arrange for you.

You will need to make your own arrangements for accommodation and food by booking as a guest to attend Spring Harvest either as a Butlin's guest or a day visitor.
