How Do I Fit In This Place?

Sanctuary is about something larger than having prayer meetings. We are after His heart and want to know what He is thinking and feeling in this hour. God is stirring prayer across the earth. I hear it everywhere. Friends all over Winnipeg, across Canada, in the USA, in Japan, in Ireland and lots of other places say the same thing: God is stirring us to turn back to Him in prayer. There is a place for all of us as we press in together.

Sanctuary functions around the activities of worship unto the Lord and intercession for the city of Winnipeg. It is designed that all can be part of this in one form or another. I see three categories of involvement and believe that all of them are critical to what the Lord is building and setting in place in Winnipeg in this hour of history.

1. Some of you will join Sanctuary and see it as your primary church expression as you become part of this community and give yourself to serve in the building and functioning of this house of prayer. You are called by God to be here and we want to welcome you enthusiastically to bring your heart and passion to the prayer room and all that we do here.

2. Some of you will serve and function in Sanctuary while you remain in your home church. You feel a desire to give yourself to be an active part of this ministry to God and for the city. You can see yourself singing, playing guitar, leading worship sets, becoming a prayer leader for a 2-hr set and generally helping out in lots of ways. There will be many like you from all over the city that will come to serve and to give of their time and energy. You are critical to what happens here. It is your city!

3. Some of you will want to come and sit in the prayer and worship dynamic, enjoying God and praying for our city quietly and even on the mic at times. You are fully committed to staying in your home church but want to take in what God is establishing in this house of prayer. We may never even know your name. You will come at all kinds of different hours and slip out quietly, knowing your efforts were an offering to God first and foremost. You are very important to the prayer efforts in our city.

There really is room for all of us. The question is not "Am I called?", but rather "How can I fit?". Join us in gazing on the Glorious Son and standing for His kingdom in our city.
