This Prayer Department exists in fulfilment of the scripture “Men ought always to pray and not faint…” (Luke 18:1). It is made up of ministers and individuals driven by a passion to intercede and supplicate on behalf of the church, her members, the nation and for souls needing God’s love and salvation. This department holds intercessory sessions for every one of the church’s services and programs.
CPAI is a praying church. This is not just something we say… Rather it is a FACT and an integral part of who we are and what we do! We believe God responds to prayer, and invites us to be in a prayer relationship with Him and it is to this end that The Prayer Marshalls was set up.
