What is One Prayer?


Writing to followers of Jesus in a city called Ephesus the early church leader Paul wrote, “We have only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism." It this verse that forms the basis of this brand new series of messages we are starting here at New Season called “One Prayer.”


From Sydney to Memphis to Karachi to Phoenix to Fredericksburg, churches all over the world are standing together like never before. One Prayer is unifying churches from all over the globe to stand together and promote unity in the body of Christ. The things about it is that New Season Church is not the only church that will be doing or has done this series called One Prayer.


Thousands of churches are partnering with LifeChurch.tv in Oklahoma City through One Prayer. Pastors from around the world have submitted sermons that respond to the question, "If God would answer 'one prayer' for the church at large, what would you pray?" Almost one million believers have come together through this shared teaching as well as the spiritual discipline of prayer and fasting.


One Prayer churches are not only joining forces through shared teaching but also joining forces to show God's love to the world. All One Prayer churches are working together through local service projects in our communities, as well as an ambitious mission initiative to plant hundreds of new churches in Cambodia, India, Sudan, and China.


The local church is the hope of the world, and these churches will be able to make a sustainable, lasting and eternal impact on these four strategic regions.
