What are Prayer Triplets?
A prayer triplet consists of a small group, usually three to five members who undertake to meet on a regular basis to pray together and is an exciting extension to the church’s prayer life. In Matthew 18:19-20 we get the specific promise that where two or three are together, God is in their midst and He answers their prayers.
A group of three to five is best because it creates a situation where people feel free to participate and be themselves. In such a small group: mutual trust, accountability and self confidence are created; every person's need can be attended to; and the individuals can be cared for. They also provide an opportunity to enjoy fellowship, spend time with God and offer a chance to share the issues that concern their lives with close fellow Christians.
Where do they meet?
The meetings are held at the home of one of the members and are very informal.
How often do they meet?
There are no hard-and-fast rules about this. Experience suggests that some prayer triplets will be able to meet every week, some once a fortnight, and others once a month. The key thing is that, whatever pattern you agree together, the triplet members commit to meeting regularly and to seeing their prayer time together as a priority.
What do they pray for?
Prayer triplets can pray for anything - there is no set format but usually each member talks about their week, the problems and issues they have encountered or those things that they wish to give thanks or prayer for. After this the members pray together for each other and about the things discussed during the meeting. You will probably find the pattern of your prayer together adapting to new needs and circumstances.
Commitment
In order to work well, prayer triplets take discipline, dedication and commitment... but it’s worth it! In praying together like this, relationships with each other are strengthened, our relationship with God grows deeper and our impact on the community and world are greater than we could ask for or imagine!
