During 2009 EA Scotland in partnership with a number of other groups will be hosting prayer events in 10 towns and cites around Scotland under the banner Unity2transform.
It is always good to encourage prayer and to meet for prayer, there is no other reason needed. However, to unite in prayer with the aim of seeing transformation is exciting.
We are holding one of these events in Stranraer on Sat 30th May - watch out for more details later.
I was reflecting on this banner and the word transform. Our initial thought might be that we are uniting 2 transform someone else, or something else. Our community, our nation, our neighbours, our church and yes, all of these need transforming.
What about ourselves? Don't we need to be transformed? In prayer do we seek to change God, or have God change us? Surely it is the latter. In our uniting for prayer we will be the ones who are transformed. In this we will become agents of transformation in our communities, our nation, our neighbourhoods, our church.
