In Matthew 16, Jesus promised to build his church, assuring us that the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. The Church is the only institution on Earth which has its success personally guaranteed by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus also taught what his church would look like. He said that the world would know we belong to it based on the love we have for each other. He prayed, just before he went to the cross, that his followers would be as united as the Son is to the Father.
These promises are the reason why United? We Pray exists, and why we are so focused on building up and resourcing local churches in local communities. Please take a look at what some pastors have to say about the impact of this ministry on their churches; we think you will be inspired and encouraged.
