Prayer
The Chapel
Transforming prayer that fuels and supports the mission and ministry of pioneering leaders
Why a Prayer Ministry Matters
Mission Flows Out of Prayer
Fresh Expressions is passionate about seeing new forms of Church that help new people encounter the Kingdom of God. While strategy matters, we know that pioneering ministry is ignited, fueled and sustained through transforming prayer. Fresh Expressions Prayer Ministry helps leaders and churches both experience Transforming Prayer, and make Transforming Prayer a central part of their own ministry.
Prayer Network

The Fresh Expressions Prayer Network gathers seasoned intercessors from seven nations to pray for all aspects of the Fresh Expressions Movement in North America. Through the efforts of the Prayer Network; team members, partners, events, initiatives and individual leaders receive regular intercessory prayer coverage.

We offer a space we call The Chapel at missional gatherings and events. This is where our Prayer Teams offer discerning prayer for leaders and pioneers that need refreshment, discernment, and divine direction through hands-on prayer and prophetic ministry in a room set apart for contemplative worship and intimate prayer.

Dangerous Prayer
Fueling Mission Beyond Our Own Efforts
What if the most powerful thing you could do…was to stop trying so hard?
Many of us have learned to approach faith and mission the same way we approach everything else—with effort, discipline, and determination. But over time, something begins to wear thin.
What if there’s another way?
Dangerous Prayer is a guided, experiential journey into a deeper life of prayer,
one that moves beyond words and into the active presence of God.
For several years the FX Prayer Team had been a foundational element of our national gatherings. People were liberated, healed, and received divine revelation as a result of this ministry. They were uniquely responsible for embedding the centrality of prayer into the DNA of the culture of our conference which has impacted the entirety of our organizational life.
JR Rozko
Former Director of Mission Alliance
Churches and Christians have a knowledge of prayer; we intercede, make petitions and in our despair cry out to God in our need. There is another type of prayer the church needs to practice and possibly learn or re-learn and that is the prayer that fuels the mission of the church into the world. A prayer that builds up and and is ready, willing and able to do battle in spiritual warfare against the forces of darkness. In these days of conflict, strife, dissension and division, we need people of prayer who will penetrate the darkness of this world armed with the light of Christ. In the book of Nehemiah we see a profile of what this looks like. While building a wall around Jerusalem the workers came under siege by those in the country side loathing their efforts. So they worked with a trowel in one hand and fought with a sword in the other. In doing so they prevailed.
A Trowel and A Sword will take you on a journey to learn this needful type of prayer; learning about the obstacles, language, vocabulary and posture of frontline missional prayer from a Pentecostal pastor and an Epsicopal priest whose voices find harmony as they delve into frontline, missional warfare that changes the world.
