Prayer Session #2 | National Equipped Conference | Pastor Taylor Thompson

Main message: Pray persistently for souls and for God to build his church — trusting Jesus' promise to build the church and asking God to raise up more laborers to reach the harvest.

Key points:

• The church is people, not buildings; Jesus will build his church (Matthew 16) and we should pray for that work to continue.
• Pray for the salvation of people we don't know, thanking God for past conversions and asking for more (examples from the congregation).
• Jesus commands us to ask the Lord of the harvest to send out more laborers because the harvest is plentiful but workers are few (Luke 10:2).
• Be intentional about practical evangelism and creating space for life‑to‑life gospel conversations (encouragement to engage after services).
• Commit to ongoing, devoted prayer after the conference (Psalm 116:1; example of Acts 1's devotion to prayer).

Scriptures mentioned: Matthew 16, Luke 10:2, Psalm 116:1, Acts 1
