I regularly read Craig Groeschel's "Swerve" blog. He's the pastor of >LifeChurch.tv in Oklahoma City, one of the most innovative and internet-savvy churches in the country. He puts some outstanding leadership stuff on the blog.

I just learned of a new initiative which I think is pretty exciting. They call it "One Prayer." It's a four-week (or more) series starting June 7-8, focused on the premise, "If God would answer one prayer for the church at large, what would you pray?" Various megachurch pastors will prepare messages in advance titled, "Make us _____." Groeschel will do "make us One." Perry Noble of Newspring will do "Make us Dangerous." Ed Young will preach "Make us Creative." And there will be many more.

Churches can download these messages and show them in their services. I sent a note to my pastor about it. It sounds like a pretty neat thing to me. Something the broader body of Christ is combining to do.

You can watch a video by Craig Groeschel here, and also visit a special One Prayer website.
