Lighthouses of Prayer is not a program.  It's simply a process of praying daily for people around you who have not yet begun a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  Lighthouses follows the pattern of Luke 10:5-9, where Jesus gives instruction on sharing the good news.

It's important to remember that the timing of each of these phases can range from a relatively short period of time to several years. Each relationship will be unique and will develop differently.  The most important thing is to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit

  • Phase 1: Establish a "Perimeter of Faith" and "Speak Peace" (Luke 10:5)

    A perimeter of faith is a territory you'll commit to praying over daily.  It could be either your neighborhood or your workplace.  Start by asking God to help you determine the number of people, homes, cubicles or apartments that he wants you to influence personally.  Then ask God for the faith to do it.

    Your perimeter of faith should be big enough to stretch you, but small enough to allow you to track the progress of your relationships.  Your perimeter should also consist of people with whom you have, or can potentially have, contact.  It is not necessary at the outset to know everyone in your perimeter - but through dedicated prayer God may begin a relationship that doesn't currently exist.

    Once you establish your perimter of faith, the next step is to "speak peace." - to start praying for blessing.  The goal is simply to establish a lifestyle of praying for those around you, and to ask God to bless them and to be working in their lives.
     
  • Phase 2:  Bridge Building (Luke 10:7)

    The second phase involves establishing relationships with the people for whom you're praying. 
     
  • Phase 3:  Pray for felt needs (Luke 10:9)

    Now that you've been praying and developing relationships, look for specific needs that are expressed in the context of your relationships and pray for those things.
     
  • Phase 4:  Proclamation (Luke 10:9)

    As the people in your perimeter of faith become aware of the presence, the love, and the power of God, be ready for opportunities to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
