The Lakeland Prayer Network is an effort to support and connect the various prayer initiatives, events, chapels and resources in the Lakeland area. It seeks to encourage everyone to pray, learn how to effectively pray, grow in prayer, and realize answers to prayer.

The Lakeland Prayer Network seeks to promote prayer and places of prayer with the web site, prayer seminars, community gatherings and personal prayer retreats. Recognizing that we are all actually "beginning to pray" and rely on the Lord to "teach us to pray," we will teach and offer prayer resources that are Christ-centered and come from the prayer traditions of the Church world-wide. Our emphasis will be on the "prayer of the sinner" vs. the "prayer of the publican" and "prayer in secret" vs. "prayer to 'show-off' in front of others."

The Lakeland Prayer Network is not about "show." It's about "GO." We seek to fulfill the Great Commission by Prayer Evangelism. And as it attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, "Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words."
