This book was born out of prayer. The Lord called a few of us aside to
pray. Each night, we wrestled in prayer between the hours of 9:00 p.m.
and 3:00 a.m. This went on for many weeks. We came to find ourselves
blessed, challenged, and purified. We came to see the Lord in a new way
and to understand the purpose of our being in a totally new light.
This book was also born out of an experience – an experience of
obedience. Some of us were led to obey an obvious command of the Lord,
which is clearly written in the Bible and which we had not yet obeyed.
That obedience nearly cost us our lives. God honoured that obedience
and caused it to lead to the ministries now associated with Christian
Literature Centre, Yaounde. It also led to the birth of some assemblies
which have, by God’s grace, grown into praying communities.
The truths charted in this book are coloured by what that local
assembly has learnt as it tried, step by step, to follow the praying Lord
in the School of Prayer. We have a commitment to prayer, fasting, and
evangelism. We are learning and we are growing. Pray for us. Pray with
us.
We have come to discover that all things are possible to the praying
saint and to the praying body of believers. By God’s grace, we are
determined to wipe out the word “impossible” from the life experience
of the members of the assembly.
Our hearts’ desire is that all those who know the Lord Jesus will truly
become people of prayer. So we send this book out with prayer that it
will help some individuals and some local assemblies to make progress
with the Lord in the “School of Prayer”.
To the Lord Jesus, the praying, supplicating and interceding Head of
the Church be untold honour, glory, and majesty forever and ever.
