Prayer

‘I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow’ 1 Corinthians: 3

CCX believes that it is God who through his Holy Spirit brings life and growth to the Church. It follows that prayer is fundamental to our life and work and the foundation of any strategy for growth. Prayer is both the most personal and most strategic gift God has given us in his mission.

It’s our aim to enable conversation, give tools and create space for inspiration, recognising that prayer is the foundation and the lead in church multiplication.

“Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.” – Hudson Taylor
