Samuel Chadwick once wrote, "The one concern of the Devil is to keep Christians from praying.  He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion.  He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

I believe the greatest thing you can do for God is not to be the greatest preacher or Bible teacher.  I don't even believe the greatest thing you can do for God is to share the Gospel with everyone you meet.  I do believe the greatest thing you can do for God is to become a great person of prayer.  Seeking the face of God in humble prayer was the key God gave us to see healing come to our land (2 Chronicles 7:14.)

God is doing miraculous things around the world today but in every place those things are happening, pastors and congregations from different denominations and races are praying together passionately and powerfully.  Communities and even cities are being transformed (crime statistics down, divorce statistics down, alcohol and drug addiction down, businesses are prospering and people are experiencing Jesus Christ in huge ways.)

Many Katy pastors from different denominations have been praying together weekly for over ten years.  A prayer room has been opened in downtown Katy in late 2005 that people are committing to pray at different time slots throughout the week.  Let me encourage you to become a great person of prayer praying for God to do great things in Katy.  The Devil will continue to scoff at our efforts to do prayerless things for God but when the church gets serious about prayer, the Devil will tremble.

Praying for you,

Tim Barker

Associate Pastor to the Church in Katy

Edwin Orr has studied the history of revivals perhaps more than anyone else. His conclusion after studying over 4000 years of history is this: "Whenever God is about to send revival, He sets His people to praying."
O God, set Your people praying in Katy, Texas! My passion for The Katy Church stems out of a desire to see just as much praying going on in Katy, Texas as possible. Something happens when we pray. When we work, we work. When we pray, God works. O God, set Your people praying in Katy, Texas!
My other passion for The Katy Church stems out of the fact that all the letters in the New Testament were written to city churches (not to individual local churches). If God were to write a letter to us today, He would not write it to Grace Fellowship or Life Church or First Baptist; rather, He would write it to "the church in Katy." The real Church in Katy, Texas consists of ALL the believers in this city. There's really only ONE church in this town - we just happen to have several satellite campuses all over the city. So, let's act like we are really one church.
Try coming by The Katy Prayer Room some time just to pray for your city (see times on this website). Encourage your pastor to participate in the Wednesday Noon Pastors Prayer Gathering in the Katy Prayer Room. But, whatever you do, pray and ask God to pour out His Spirit on Katy, Texas and send revival and spiritual awakening here. O God, set Your people praying in Katy, Texas.
 

In Christ,

I want to personally invite you to be with us every Wednesday, at the Katy Prayer Room, to join together with other pastors in this community and to seek the face of the Lord together. We often hear of the divisions in our society, whether they be political, racial, economical or denominational. What an opportunity we have to allow our community to see something different. What an opportunity we have to lay our differences at the foot of the cross and come together learning to honor each other. In fact, the Word tells us in John 13:35, "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
 

My church affiliation has a saying:
In the Essentials - Unity - we will not compromise the truth of the Word of God."
In the Unessentials - Liberty - we allow for others to have differences of opinions.
In all things - Charity - this says it all.
 

Five years ago, I came to Katy, Texas to birth a church. I quickly connected to The Katy Church. What I found there were ministers of all backround hungering and thirsting for more of God. I met an Episcopalian priest who was passionate about God. I met a Presbyterian pastor who was sold out to the Lord. I met Baptist pastors and Methodist pastors who equally hungered to see a move of God in Katy, Texas. What I am attempting to say is this; We often attach ourselves to a local church or denomination and we tend to forget that there is one body of Christ that is just as passionate and sincere as our heart is for the Lord!
Yes, may Katy, Texas see a great move of God. May Katy, Texas also see pastors, of all Biblical persuasions, come together and truly learn to love and pray for each other.
