“You are the light of the world.  A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.  Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light in the house (Matt 5:14-15).”

This Lampstand initiative will continue to develop through small groups working with our priests and lay leaders to achieve the following ends:

  • To learn (on the cognitive level) the types of prayer and to practice these types of prayer in order to (Encounter Jesus)
  • To deepen in the affective growth of the participants with respect to the life of prayer, and subsequently, the life of faith (Encounter Jesus/Equip Disciples)
  • To brainstorm strategies as a group on how to share these methods of prayer with others and utilize effectively in specific settings (Equip Disciples)

Find more information on the benchmarks to practice and share each method, along with the  full initiative document and additional resources below.
