Christian Prayer Church

by

Christian Prayer Church

A Christian prayer church is more than just a building — it’s a place where people come together to worship Jesus Christ, grow in faith, and support one another in prayer and love.

At its heart, a Christian prayer church is a family. It’s where we gather to read the Bible, praise God, and share our joys and burdens. It’s where both new and lifelong believers can grow deeper in their relationship with the Lord.

What Happens in a Christian Prayer Church?

In a Christian prayer church, believers:

  • Pray together in unity

  • Study the Word of God

  • Sing songs of worship

  • Share testimonies

  • Encourage one another in faith

At New Christian Prayer Church, we believe in the power of prayer and the beauty of fellowship.

Why Prayer is So Important

Prayer is how we talk to our Heavenly Father. It helps us stay close to God, seek His guidance, and find peace. A Christian prayer church gives you a place where others can pray with you and for you.

You don’t need fancy words — just an open heart. Whether you’re saying your first prayer or joining others in a group prayer session, you’ll feel the presence of God.

We invite you to follow us on Pinterest, where we share daily Bible verses, Christian quotes, prayer inspiration, and more. You can also explore devotionals, Christian teachings, and uplifting content through our official New Christian Prayer Church website.

 

Pioneer 10 Christian Missionary Stories That Still Inspire Us Today

by

Pioneer Christian Missionary Stories That Still Inspire Us Today
Shared by New Christian Prayer Church

At New Christian Prayer Church, we believe that the stories of Christian missionaries are not just stories—they are real-life testimonies of how God works through faithful hearts. These missionaries didn’t have perfect lives or easy journeys, but they trusted God fully, and their obedience changed the world.

Through prayer, Bible teaching, and love, they helped bring light into places of darkness. Education, culture, beliefs, and daily living were all touched by their bold faith. Even today, New Christians around the world are being encouraged by their courage and dedication.

In this post, we’re sharing 10 powerful stories of pioneer missionaries—people who gave everything to follow Jesus and share His love with the world. Their lives are seeds that still bear fruit today. As you read, let your heart be stirred for missions and the Great Commission.

1. David Brainerd: A Missionary Heart for the Native Americans

David Brainerd, born in 1718, gave his life to reach Native Americans in New Jersey. He even translated the gospel into their language. Though he died young, his passion for God deeply impacted other missionaries like William Carey and Jim Elliot. His story reminds every New Christian that God can use a humble heart to reach lost souls.

2. William Carey: The Father of Modern Missions

William Carey, a simple English shoemaker, became a missionary to India and spent 41 years preaching the gospel. He translated the Bible into Bengali and helped improve education and life for many. He believed that the command to make disciples was for every believer—something we at New Christian Prayer Church still believe and teach today.

3. Adoniram & Ann Judson: First American Missionaries Overseas

Adoniram and Ann Judson were sent to India and Burma (Myanmar). They worked hard to translate the Bible into Burmese. Ann bravely fought to save her husband from prison. Their story shows us that God gives strength when we feel weak, and He brings fruit from every faithful step. They inspire every New Christian to trust God in hard times.

4. David Livingstone: Missionary and Explorer in Africa

David Livingstone was more than a missionary—he was a doctor, explorer, and defender of freedom. He fought against slavery and brought the gospel to many parts of Africa. His deep love for people and faith in God still encourages those with a calling to missions. At New Christian Prayer Church, we see his life as a model of bold Christian service.

5. John G. Paton: Light in the Land of Cannibals

John Paton served on the dangerous islands of the South Pacific. He lost his wife and child soon after arriving, but he stayed and continued sharing Jesus. Many tried to harm him, but God protected him. His faith shows every New Christian that with God’s help, we can overcome fear and bring His light to the darkest places.

6. Hudson Taylor: A Missionary’s Heart for China

Hudson Taylor worked in China for over 50 years. He wore local clothes, spoke the language, and lived among the people to help them understand the love of Jesus. He started the China Inland Mission and showed the world how to serve with humility. His example encourages New Christians to love others deeply and go where God calls.

7. Mary Slessor: A Brave Woman for God in Nigeria

Mary Slessor, from Scotland, went to Nigeria and helped protect women and children. She stopped the killing of twins and cared for orphans. She didn’t give up, even when times were tough. Her story reminds all of us at New Christian Prayer Church that God’s love changes lives, especially when we stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

8. Amy Carmichael: A Mother to the Lost in India

Amy Carmichael rescued children from temple trafficking in India and started an orphanage. She stayed in India for 55 years without a break and wrote many books about faith. Her story speaks to New Christians about commitment, love, and how we can serve God no matter our situation.

9. Jim & Elisabeth Elliot: Giving Everything for the Gospel

Jim Elliot went to Ecuador to reach a tribe who had never heard of Jesus. He and four other missionaries were killed by the tribe. But later, his wife Elisabeth went to live with them and share the gospel. Their story continues to move New Christian hearts to give everything for Jesus, even life itself.

10. Brother Andrew: God’s Smuggler

Brother Andrew risked his life to bring Bibles into countries where God’s Word was banned. He became known as “God’s Smuggler” and inspired many to go to hard places with courage and prayer. His famous prayer was: “Lord, make seeing eyes blind.” At New Christian Prayer Church, we are challenged by his boldness and faith.

Final Thoughts from New Christian Prayer Church

These missionaries gave up comfort, family, and safety because they loved Jesus more than anything. They obeyed God’s call even when it was hard. And because of them, millions have heard the gospel.

At New Christian Prayer Church, we believe that their legacy lives on today—in every new Christian, every young believer, and every heart that says “Yes, Lord, send me.”

Let their stories inspire you to pray, to share, and to live boldly for Jesus.

 

What is a Kohen? Bible Meaning for New Believers

by

What is ‘Kohen’ in the Bible?

The term Kohen (כֹּהֵן) is a Hebrew word for priest. In the Bible, a Kohen is a person appointed by God to minister in the temple, to offer sacrifices, and to bless the people. Kohanim (plural of Kohen) descended from the tribe of Levi, specifically from the line of Aaron, Moses’ brother.

At New Christian Prayer Church, we believe understanding the meaning of Biblical words like Kohen helps new believers grow in their daily walk with God.

Bible Scriptures on Kohen (Priest)

Here are some Bible verses that explain the role and importance of the Kohen in God’s plan.

1. Exodus 28:1 (KJV)

“And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office…”

This verse demonstrates that God appointed Aaron and his sons to be priests (Kohanim).

2. Leviticus 6:22 (KJV)

“And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD…”

We know that the position of Kohen is transferred from generation to generation.

3. Numbers 6:23–27 (KJV)

“Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel…”

Kohanim were summoned to bless the people with God’s peace and favor.

4. Hebrews 4:14 (KJV)

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God…”

Jesus in the New Testament is our great High Priest, taking on the Kohen role for believers everywhere.

Why Is ‘Kohen’ Important for New Believers?

At New Christian Prayer Church, we are taught that:

  • The Old Testament Kohen was a shadow of Jesus Christ, our High Priest eternally.
  • Jesus gave us direct access to God by His perfect sacrifice on Cross..
  • Every believer today can come boldly to the throne of grace.

Daily Devotional Thought – Jesus Our Kohen

“Lord Jesus, You are my High Priest forever. Thank You for making a way for me to come close to my Father.”

May this truth support your faith today. You are welcomed, forgiven, and loved by our Great Kohen – Jesus Christ.

Faith Confession

“I believe Jesus is my eternal High Priest. Through Him, I have peace, forgiveness, and access to my Father.”

Today Word of God

“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” – Hebrews 7:25

This verse reminds us that our Kohen, Jesus, is always interceding for us.

Gospel Verse

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” –

1 Timothy 2:5

A Simple Prayer for New Believers

My Father, thank You for Jesus, my High Priest. I commit to trusting Him each day. I know His death has cleansed me and brought me near to You. Empower me to increase in faith and live to glorify You.

In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Last Thoughts from New Christian Prayer Church

Knowing the term Kohen helps us appreciate the deep truth of God’s love and holiness. Kohanim were priests in the Old Testament. Yet now, Jesus is our Kohen, our High Priest forever.

At New Christian Prayer Church, we teach these truths to support daily devotional life, new believer prayers, and strong faith in today’s Word of God.

Prayer for New Believers: Trusting Jesus Daily | Daily Devotion

🙌 Praising Verse

“Thank you, Jesus, for your unwavering faithfulness.”

Every new day is a fresh reminder of Jesus’ love and faithfulness. Whether we feel strong or weak, His love for us never changes. As new believers, we may feel uncertain or unworthy, but we can always trust in the one who never fails—our Lord Jesus Christ. He walks with us, guides us, and keeps His promises every day.

🙏 Faith Confession

“I am chosen and loved by God.” – 1 Peter 2:9

You are not here by accident. You are chosen. You are deeply loved. God picked you out of the crowd and called you into His marvelous light. When doubts arise, remind yourself of this truth— I am chosen and loved by God. This simple confession helps build your identity in Christ. It brings confidence and peace to your heart.

Whether you’ve just started your journey with Jesus or are learning to walk daily in faith, know this: you belong to Him.

📖 Daily Bible Verse

Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.”

This verse is a treasure for every new believer. We live in a world that tells us to rely on our thoughts, our strength, and our plans. But God gently tells us: “Trust Me.”

When we put our full trust in the Lord, we stop trying to figure out everything ourselves. He sees the big picture. He knows what’s best. Even when we don’t understand the “why,” we can trust in the “Who.”

Let this be your daily prayer for new believers:
“Lord, I may not know what’s ahead, but I trust You. Lead me.”

✝️ Gospel Verse

Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Jesus is inviting you. Yes, you. If your heart is heavy… if your mind is tired… if you’ve been carrying the weight of the sin… He says, “Come to Me.”

This is not just a verse to read—it’s a daily promise to live by. The sin result is  pressure, but Jesus gives peace and set free from sin wages . The sin drains us, but Jesus fills us.

As a new believer or even as a longtime follower, this is your invitation to rest in His arms. Every morning, whisper this verse back to Jesus, and let His peace fill your day.

🙏 Prayer for New Believer

My Lord Jesus,
Thank You for another day of life. Thank You for saving me, loving me, and choosing me. Help me to walk in obedience to Your word. Fill me with joy even when life is hard. Teach me to trust You more every day.

I am new in my faith, but I know You are strong and faithful. Help me not to rely on my feelings, but to stand firm on Your truth. Guide me when I feel lost, comfort me when I feel lonely, and speak to me through Your Word.

I give You my heart today.
Let Your will be done in my life.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.

📜 The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
(Matthew 6:9–13, NKJV)

This prayer is powerful for every believer—new or old. Pray it slowly. Let every line speak to your soul. It’s more than a prayer; it’s a way of life.

📝 Daily Devotion: Learning to Walk with Jesus

Starting a new life with Christ is exciting. It’s also a learning journey. There are days of joy, and there are days of questions. You might wonder, “Am I praying right?” or “Does God hear me?” The answer is YES.

Your Heavenly Father loves you deeply. And every simple word you whisper to Him matters. Your voice is precious to Him.

Here are five truths to hold onto as a new Christian:

1. You Are Fully Forgiven

When you said yes to Jesus, all your sins—past, present, and future—were covered by His blood. You are clean in God’s sight. Don’t carry guilt anymore. Jesus paid it all.

2. You Are Never Alone

Even if people leave, Jesus never does. He lives in you through His Holy Spirit. You can talk to Him anytime. He listens.

3. You Can Grow Every Day

Start with one Bible verse a day. Pray one simple prayer a day. That’s how growth begins. Just like a plant needs water daily, your faith grows with daily devotion.

4. You Have a New Family

You are now part of the family of God. Connect with other Christians. Join a church. Ask questions. You’re not alone in this walk.

5. You Have a Purpose

God didn’t save you to sit quietly. He saved you to shine. You have a unique story. Tell others what Jesus did for you. Share your new Christian prayer. You never know who it will help.

💡 Today Word of God: Keep Trusting

Today, the Word of God reminds us to trust the Lord with all our hearts. This is a choice we must make every day. Not just when things are going well, but even when they’re hard.

Say this to yourself:
“I will trust You today, Jesus. Even when I don’t understand. You are good. You are faithful. You will never leave me.”

This is your daily bread. This is how your faith grows—step by step, trust by trust, day by day.

📣 New Believers Prayer – Speak from Your Heart

“Lord Jesus, Teach me to follow You. Forgive my past and lead my future. I want to know You more. I believe in You. Thank You for saving me. Be my Lord and guide me always.”

🌟 Final Thought

If you are a new believer reading this, know that you are loved, chosen, and cherished by your Heavenly Father. Your journey with Jesus has just begun, and it’s going to be beautiful.

Let today’s prayer and devotional remind you: You are never alone. Jesus is always near.

Stay strong. Stay faithful. Keep trusting. And come back tomorrow for more of your daily bread from the Word of God. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.
