PrayerLink
Creating a Culture of Prayer
PrayerLink seeks to utilize the "watchmen on the walls" referred to Isaiah 62:6 to see a "Culture of Prayer" established in each of the counties of the OMC. We hope to accomplish this by:
CONNECTING
  • People of prayer for revival of the church, awakening of the lost, and transformation of society throughout the OMC.
LISTENING
  • To the heartbeat of Jesus, who ever lives to make intercession for us, as expressed in His revealed Word for the OMC (Hebrews 7:25).
  • To the leading of the Holy Spirit who helps us in our weaknesses to make intercession according to the will of God for the OMC (Romans 8:25-27).
  • To testimonies of what God is doing in the OMC so that the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover the OMC (Habakkuk 2:14).
FOCUSING
  • On gathering people of prayer in consistent and persevering intercession for the OMC.
  • On strategic, on-site prayer initiatives so that the land in the OMC will be healed (2 Chronicles 7:14).
  • On Biblical prayer themes for the OMC that the Spirit of the Lord is highlighting in each season.
BUILDING
  • A culture of prayer in the OMC across denominational, racial, and generational lines.
  • Networks of prayer in a spirit of unity so that His Kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10, John 17).
  • Continuous, 24 hours a day, permeating and saturating prayer throughout the OMC (Revelation 5:8).
  • Training on Biblical prayer and intercession opportunities.
  • Prayer links in the OMC for times of emergencies.
WorshipLink
Cultivating a Lifestyle of Worship
The goal of WorshipLink is to see the Presence of God displayed through the lives of His followers and to cultivate a "Lifestyle of Worship" in each of the counties of the OMC. We hope to accomplish this by:

CONNECTING
  • Believers from different denominations and cultures in the OMC together through a regular rhythm of worship gatherings, being open to worshiping Jesus in many different styles, forms and venues (Psalms 133:1).
  • Worship leaders through prayer, fellowship and discussion to encourage and uplift one another and establish better contact, understanding and support among those responsible for leading God's people in worshiping Him.
LISTENING
  • To the Lord through worship and prayer for what He reveals to us about our Cities and Counties in the OMC.
FOCUSING
  • On seeing Jesus glorified in all the counties of the OMC.
BUILDING
KingdomLink
Establishing a Kingdom Mindset
The goal of KingdomLink is to see the "Kingdom Mindset" established in each of the counties of the OMC. This mindset will be seen as Christians in the OMC operate as one and establish principles of the Kingdom of God in the way they co-labor and serve each other and their communities. We hope to accomplish this by:

CONNECTING
  • Believers in churches, para-churches and other ministries with activities and efforts throughout the Original Manatee County.
LISTENING
  • To the heart of Jesus, who is not ashamed to call us friends
    (John 15:14-15).
FOCUSING
  • On what He has called us to do within the OMC together for His glory not ours (John 21:18).
BUILDING
  • A culture of peace among God's people (James 3:18).
  • A testimony of good works to the governmental & civil authorities (Romans 13:3).
  • A delight in the diversity of the gifts within the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:4-11).
  • An atmosphere where the wisdom and power of God can be displayed (James 3:17-18, Eph 1:19-20).
