Believers are Growing in Confidence to PRAY Like Never Before
July 2026 Ministry Newsletter
The summer is flying by! Our local spiritual family here in Farmville, NC, The Greenhouse, has been hosting a few trainings in addition to our weekly services and prayer meetings. Check out the video below for a glimpse into our training nights. We also have a number of exciting shifts coming up in August, including a new venue for our Sunday services and a [re]expanded prayer room schedule.
Below, I also share an update on the progress of our merger between Presence Pioneers Media and Prayershop Publishing. Thank you for standing with us as we build day and night prayer for revival that touches the nations with the Gospel.
Matthew Lilley
President, Presence Pioneers
P.S. Thank you to those who have been praying for my partnership development efforts for Presence Pioneers. I am at about 75-80% of my summer goal. I’m still praying for a few more monthly partners to join our team. Please continue to pray, and please give as the Lord leads.
Prayer Training at The Greenhouse [Video] 🛠️
This summer, The Greenhouse is hosting a few training events for our prayer room. In July, we hosted a “Harp & Bowl” training for helping our volunteers flow together in worship and prayer with Scripture.
The cool thing about training and “practicing” prayer is that God hears the “practice” prayers, too! Here’s a moment from the Harp & Bowl training where we got caught up in the flow of praying & singing over students:
Since that training night, we now have four new volunteer prayer leaders. These are folks who do not normally (or ever!) pray on a microphone, and they are now helping facilitate times of intercessory prayer during our weekly prayer meetings! I love seeing people grow in their confidence before God and others.
Our next summer training is a Bible Meditation workshop coming up on August 3rd.
Prayershop Publishing - Merger Update 📚
Some of you have asked about the progress of merging Prayershop Publishing with Presence Pioneers Media. It’s going well, but slow! A lot of work is happening behind the scenes as contracts are being updated, inventory is being liquidated, and book rights are being transferred.
This month, Jonathan Friz, Jonathan Graf, and I hosted a great Zoom call with the Prayershop authors. All of us at PPM/Prayershop have a shared passion to see the Church equipped to become what Jesus said we are - a house of prayer for all the nations!
Meanwhile, PPM continues to publish weekly podcast episodes and weekly Substack articles. In addition to the merger and weekly online content, we have a number of exciting new book projects in the works with PPM that will be released by the end of this year. Stay tuned!
