Chris.
It is clear from the beginning of the Book of Acts, that Prayer was very much a part of the life of the New Testament Church. This, surely, is still a pattern for our Churches to follow today! Prayer is really the "breath" of the Church. Through Prayer the Holy Spirit comes into the Church. When the Church prays, they can then see God at work in their midst. Through Prayer, the Holy Spirit's Work came into this "Walled City" area of Kowloon, pictured above.
