Enters Pastors’ Prayer Shield, a pray-for-your-pastor initiative that seeks to mobilise individual church members to pray for their pastors on a regular basis. Through constant, committed prayer, the pastor-member relationship will be cemented, thus leading to harmony and unity in vision for the church. Ultimately, with strong local churches, the glory of Christ will be manifested in the nation.

The prayer campaign is initiated by the NECF Malaysia Prayer Commission in line with NECF’s theme, Transforming The Nation Through The Local Churches. The Commission aims to establish within every church in Malaysia a group of members praying for their pastors throughout the week. Members who sign up for the programme commit to pray on a day of the week (for example every Tuesday) following a schedule of prayer items for each day of the week. The Commission hopes to raise 100,000 praying partners for Malaysian pastors.

The campaign will be officially launched in several regions throughout Malaysia. Pastors, their church leaders and prayer leaders will be invited to the launch where they will be introduced to the programme and learn how to set up prayer shields in their local churches. A copy of John Maxwell’s training VCD, The Pastor’s MVP (Most Valuable Player), and his book, Partners in Prayer, will be available for sale at RM20 per set.

The first launch will be held for the Central region at Kuantan on February 11 followed by the Klang Valley region (held at Calvary Church, KL) on February 26 and the Northern region (held in Kota Baru) on March 16.

Churches, which are interested in participating in the campaign, may contact the NECF Prayer Commission for assistance and training.
