Living a Christian Life

The Santa Fe Prayer Net is a group of Christian churches in Santa Fe that pray for each other. It’s a chance to pray for the prayer needs of other churches in Santa Fe whose members are our brothers and sisters in Christ.

How Do I Participate in the Prayer Net?

Each week, all the churches in the Prayer Net are asked to pray for a specific Santa Fe church. We pray that the pastor or priest and the congregation of that church will receive an outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit, as well as answers to specific prayer requests that they have told us about.

In your personal prayers each week, we lift up this church as well as the church community as a whole – the body of Christ – in Santa Fe, asking God to send his Holy Spirit to this church and to Santa Fe.

Which Churches Are Participating?

Currently, 39 churches are members of the Prayer Net, and more are joining. The congregations reflect the pattern of churches in Santa Fe: Catholic, Baptist churches, Episcopal, Lutheran, and one of most other Christian denominations. Many non-denominational churches also belong to the Prayer Net.

Why Pray for Each Other?

Jesus prayed for his disciples that they would “be one, as I and the Father are one.” [John 17:22] We are all called to this high calling. It may seem impossible for churches that are so different from one another to unite on anything, even prayer. But remember that for our God and for the ones who believes in Jesus Christ, “all things are possible.”

Suggested Prayers:

Father in Heaven, Your Son taught us to pray for Your kingdom to come to earth as it is in heaven. Please bring Your kingdom to our city. Thank you for making us Your children and for hearing the requests of Your children. Amen.

Jesus, Son of God, You prayed for Your disciples, that they would be one as You and the Father are one. We ask that You would fulfill this prayer in our city. Help our churches to trust you. Feed them with the hope of Your gospel, so that they are not discouraged. Most of all, let us all fulfill Your commandment to “love one another, as I have loved you.” Thank You. Amen.

Holy Spirit, Teacher of Truth, You alone give life to all who follow Jesus. Come and remain with us – we know that You will not lead us astray. Only in Your power will we have real unity. Amen.

Are you satisfied with your life?
What does it mean to live a Christian life?

In these days of terrorism and war, many people who believed they had outgrown the Christian world view are finding that their lives lack purpose, joy, and love.

Love is what makes a Christian Life seem so different.

Your friends and family will have richer lives and respond to feeling loved by showing their love for you and for each other. It will transform their lives - and your life, too.

Loving one another is not an option for Christians. Jesus Christ told his disciples, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Even as I have loved you, also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another."

You don't have to do it all alone!

Support for living a Christian life often comes from others with whom there is a "heart connection."  The Barnabas Institute provides encouragement and support for those who lead Christian groups that pray, study God's word, and learn to encourage others. Contact us to find out more.
