LIGHT HOUSES OF PRAYER |
| The Primitive Methodist Churches are establishing Light
Houses of Prayer in all of its communities. A House of Prayer that Pray Care
Share. A Light House of Prayer is a cluster of two or more believers who are banded together
to pray for, care about, and share the blessings of Christ with those who live or work nearby.
Every Church should be a House of prayer. Every home can be a Light House
in its surrounding area. |
