ABOUT -
The Ferguson Prayer Furnace exists to bring together believers from Ferguson and the greater St. Louis area to worship the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit and pray in unity for the transformation of the city. We believe that all true justice is found in King Jesus, the One who bears the government upon His shoulders and who reigns from an eternal throne founded upon righteousness and justice. As we behold Him, our desires are re-oriented to petition Him for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Our desire is to create a weekly corporate prayer & worship rhythm that cultivates a passion and love for our community and a beautiful unity through which God can command His blessing upon our city (Psalm 133).
The Ferguson Prayer Furnace recognizes that we are part of a powerful, unified prayer movement that has thrived in St. Louis for decades. We desire to partner with local churches, prayer ministries, and the wider Body of Christ to see an historic, transformational move of God flow all throughout the St. Louis region, unto the nations of the earth.
What to expect?
When it comes to prayer, there is great diversity within the church and according to Ephesians 6:18, we are encouraged to pray “all kinds of prayers”.
As a result, we have organized this prayer space and our meetings in a way that is designed to produce the most possible participation from those who are attending.
One primary style of prayer and worship used at the FPF is called Harp & Bowl. This is a worship-infused prayer model that allows for singers and musicians to respond to the prayers with spontaneous, often prophetic melodies and choruses. Harp & Bowl is a powerful and creative way to engage participants in declaring the Word of God over our city and region. However, worship leaders are not restricted to only this model. Worship leaders, singers, and musicians are encouraged to bring their own unique worship flow to our prayer room. We champion worship diversity at FPF.
These times of prayer and worship are often divided into two-hour blocks of time that we refer to as “sets”. Some of our sets have a devotional feel, where the worship and prayer focuses on the beauty of God and our response to His majesty and goodness. Other sets are intercessory in nature, where the prayer times focus on specific prayers for Ferguson, the St. Louis region, the nations, and any other prayer assignments that the Lord reveals to us. Other sets will be some combination of the two.
