HISTORY OF THE INTERCESSORY MINISTRY OF CROSS OF CALVARY PRAYER GROUP
The intercessory ministry of the Cross of Calvary Prayer Group, Catholic Charismatic Renewal of Nigeria. St. Paul's Parish, University of Calabar, Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria, started on the 5th of August, 1998 with the election of its pioneer executives, following the official commissioning of the Prayer Group.
FUNCTIONS
As one of the arms of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal of Nigeria (CCRN), the ministry handles all types of the prayer needs of the entire prayer group, the parish and everyone who needs her services, irrespective of race, age, gender or denomination; be it intercession, petition, warfare, healing, deliverance, etc.
CONDITIONS OF PRAYER POINTS/ KIND OF PEOPLE PRAYED FOR
The intercessory ministry prays for, and accepts prayer points, first from members of Cross of Calvary Prayer Group, UniCal, then from St. Paul's Parishioners and from any person or group of people that need her services, irrespective of denomination, race, age, or gender; provided the person or group of people want the help from Christ Jesus.
The ministry accepts and prays for people free of charge. She is strongly guided by the injunction Christ Jesus gave to his disciples, "...you received without pay; give without pay."
TESTIMONIES
The intercessory ministry, from inception has been propelled by the scriptural declaration made in Rev. 12: 11, which says that, "... we have conquered the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony". In the ministry, we are aware of the fact that, "...our weapons of warfare are not carnal, but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of the Most High God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ Jesus."
The ministry, thus over the years, has not only empowered men and women of all cadre, but also has successfully handled numerous prayer intensions with amazing testimonies. Amen and Amen!
MEMBERSHIP
Over 90% of the ministry population is made up of young students who keep coming and leaving upon graduation.
The ministry Started with a total membership of about 25 members but presently, it has a nominal roll of about 79 members recruited only through active participation in the Life In The Spirit Seminar, yearly organized by the Cross Of Calvary Prayer Group, Catholic Charismatic Renewal Of Nigeria in Saint Paul's Parish, University of Calabar, Nigeria.
