The Lakeland Prayer Network initiative is a collaboration of various ministries in the Lakeland area. It seeks to encourage everyone to pray, to learn how to pray, to grow in prayer, to see answers to prayer, to please the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in prayer.

The Lakeland Prayer Network seeks to explore the various traditions of prayer, however emphasis will be on the "prayer of the sinner" vs. the "prayer of the publican" and "prayer in secret" vs. "prayer to show off in front of others."

Emphasis will be on praying for others' needs instead of "me" centered praying. Prayers are offered for our enemies as well as our friends. Prayers will be for salvation (healing) for our families and ourselves through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.

The Lakeland Prayer Network is not about "show." It's about "GO." We seek to fulfill the Great Commission by Prayer Evangelism. And as it attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, "Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words."
