A Biblically functioning Church is devoted to Prayer. Prayer is the Breath of this Church. The Church Leaders are people of Prayer. They will not be so busy so that they do not have time for personal Prayer. A Church cannot grow in Prayer if the leaders do not lead in their Prayer lives. This kind of Prayer is effective but not demonstrative.
