Assembly of Prayer Christian Church Savannah, GA
The true missionary spirit is something that is often not seen anymore. Man finds himself concerned with matters of his own life rather than the lost souls of man. Throughout history, there have been men and woman that have embodied the heart of a missionary and have left their comfort zones with one goal in mind, tell the world about Jesus Christ. Throughout time you would have those such as Martin Luther, the German monk who would lead the reformation, David Livingstone, the missionary to Africa, and that of John Wesley bringing the Gospel to the city of Savannah, Georgia. On Fire Missions, in an attempt to uncover those churches and mission groups that continue in the fashion of selfless love, has come across another group in the coastal Georgian city of Savannah, Assembly of Prayer Christian Church Savannah, GA. Like those that have gone before, testimonies follow after this group of men and women that have given themselves to prayer.
Ministry of Prayer
Not unlike the missionaries of the Bible Assembly of Prayer Christian Church, Savannah, GA, has a strong foundation in prayer. 1 Timothy 2:1 states, “I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for everyone/’ (NIV), and this is indeed the desire of this wonderful group of Christians. This extraordinary group has established daily prayer meetings where they gather together in one accord, much like in the book of Acts when the disciples would enter into the upper room to tarry and wait in prayer. It is in these very prayer meetings that men and women have wandered into the sanctuary from the streets to hear the saints begin to pray and make their supplication known to God. During these times, the power of God is present that many have made their hearts and minds steadfast and have chosen to follow God with all that is in them. Prayer meetings are the beginning of prayer at this church as many of the devout men and women take prayer home with them, praying in their cars, houses, and as they go about their lives. The ministry of prayer, for healing, for strength, for help, and just adoration of God is the lifeblood of Assembly of Prayer Christian Church Savannah, GA. The power of prayer is not lost in this group as they heed the words of our Lord in Luke 21:36 “Be always on the watch, and pray.” (NIV)
Testimonies of Assembly of Prayer Christian Church Savannah, GA
Like the prayer made in the scriptures, the prayer at Assembly of Prayer Christian Church Savannah GA is followed by “demonstration of the Spirit’s power” 1 Corinthians 2:4 (NIV). When the saints begin to pray, testimonies of the power of God always follow! One man testified that he had always passed by this church that was in his neighborhood. Living life in and out of jail given over to drugs and alcohol, he would fight the desire to enter this church. One day, during a prayer meeting, he found himself entering into what would change his life forever. Following that day of prayer, he made decisions, his old friends no longer had a pull on him, and the addictions that held him bound were broken, thanks to the power of prayer! The testimonies of Assembly of Prayer Christian Church Savannah, GA are amazing, to say the least. It was here in a little church in the middle of a very rough neighborhood prayer was made. From the prayer that went out of that small building and from that few people, multiple churches were started throughout Savannah. Now Assembly of Prayer Christian Church Savannah, GA, has churches in diverse parts of the city calling men and women to the power of prayer and watching their lives put together.

Likewise, they have seen marriages that were on the rocks pieced back together through the word of God.

The ministers at this church stand ready to give the specific one-on-one counseling needed to newlywed couples and the complex counseling that goes into a life filled with years of hardship. One thing commonly reported amongst those that attend this remarkable church is that they feel loved! It Is at this church that we found individuals, as well as families that look to each other the way they did in the book of Acts 4:32 “All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had.” (NIV) This principle has led to many families being united and those who have no family being taken in and filled with the love and kindness that they have been missing their whole lives.
