Top Highlights
“God’s purposes are hindered when we look at prayer ministry as just another program of the church. Prayer is communion with the living God. Without prayer, the life flow from Christ to His body is cut off; the church ceases to be a living organism and becomes little different from any other organization.” (Page 28)
“How can the city become a ‘house of prayer’ when the local churches are not even praying? The citywide prayer movement will never be any stronger than the prayer in the local church.” (Page 16)
“If an outsider observed your church, would prayer be immediately visible?” (Page 17)
“Any group desiring to establish a beachhead must maintain focus upon God’s strategic goals for the church rather than upon all the congregation’s personal requests.” (Page 90)
“In a true house of prayer, we see prayer saturating every aspect of individual and corporate church life” (Page 28)
I know of nothing that even remotely compares to The Prayer-Saturated Church. It is rare indeed when something so practical is communicated with such passion and depth. Simply stated, it is the most thorough and well-written book I have seen on how to establish a prayer ministry in your local church. Apply its wisdom and you will succeed in this all-important endeavor.
—Dutch Sheets, executive director, Christ for the Nations Institute
What a help for local church prayer leaders! I was so taken by the content that I ended up tearing out pages and teaching them instead of my material. The local church now has a new and fresh construction manual for the House of Prayer.
—Terry Teykl, founder, Renewal Ministries
Thank God for Cheryl Sacks! The Prayer-Saturated Church is a must for anyone involved in prayer ministry. It gives practical, balanced revelation on how not to get distracted so you remain focused for breakthrough praying in your church. Cheryl not only has lived and led prayer but has now written and explained how the prayer ministry evolves and matures.
—Chuck D. Pierce, president, Global Spheres, Inc.
The Prayer-Saturated Church is a major missing link between the church and the transformation of congregations, cities, and nations. It is practical yet deeply personal and warm. It gives us keys to the release of revival and a great harvest of souls.
—Cindy Jacobs, founder, Generals of Intercession
The dynamic prayer movement that God has been activating throughout America has now reached a new level. The Prayer-Saturated Church not only will help you understand what the Spirit is saying to the churches concerning prayer, but it will also motivate you to jump into the stream and move forward in the divine flow. I congratulate Cheryl Sacks for this strategic and exciting book!
—C. Peter Wagner, president, Global Harvest Ministries
When Cheryl Sacks speaks about prayer, people listen! She is a gifted communicator, and she is also uniquely anointed to call people and churches to a deeper, higher level of intercession. So this book isn’t just full of good prayer ideas; it will ignite your spirit! Cheryl has been especially called by God to impart her passion to church leaders. I’ve felt it! I’ve seen the results! I’m Cheryl’s pastor.
—Gary D. Kinnaman, senior minister, Word of Grace, Mesa, AZ
Cheryl Sacks has produced a resource that both pastors and prayer leaders have been waiting for years to put their hands on. She covers the A to Z’s of birthing and building prayer into the ministry and mission of the local church. This handbook is essential for every prayer ministry I have ever known.
—Phil Miglioratti, COO and national coordinator, Loving Our Communities to Christ
This book is one that is incredibly comprehensive yet thoroughly practical. Cheryl not only covers the ‘how’ of prayer ministry but also the ‘why.’ For anyone interested in building or improving their church as a house of prayer, The Prayer-Saturated Church is a must-read.
—Gregory Frizzell, prayer and spiritual awakening specialist, Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma
