Leading Revitalization Through Prayer at Jeffersonville Baptist Church in Jeffersonville, Georgia

Abstract

This project seeks to lead revitalization through prayer at Jeffersonville Baptist Church. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the ministry context with a list of goals for this project. Chapter 2 examines the biblical foundations of prayer for revitalization, including an exegesis of four passages (Gen 4:17–26; Ezek 37:1–14; Matt 7:7–12; Acts 4:23–30) to show that God alone brings about spiritual revitalization, yet he welcomes his people to pray and uses the prayers of his people as a catalyst towards accomplishing his work of revitalization. Chapter 3 presents a historical overview of church revivals and how prayer undergirds revitalization. Chapter 4 details the implementation of the project itself, recounting the research methodology involved in the implementation of the project. Chapter 5 evaluates the efficacy of the project based on the successful completion of the specific goals. Ultimately, this project seeks to strengthen the corporate and individual prayer life of the members of Jeffersonville Baptist Church that leads to revitalization.
