Prayer Shawl Ministry
Prayer Shawl Ministry
One of the things our ministry does for others is we have a Prayer Shawl Ministry.
Just like the Woman with the issue of blood for so many years, she knew that if she could just
touch, just the hem of Christ's garment she would be made whole. When Paul could not go out
to meet someone to pray for healing, he would send an anointed cloth that he had prayed over
and send it by a messenger to that person. It was tangible evidence of God's love, anointing by
the Holy Spirit, and promise of healing and restoration.
Our family began talking about prayer cloths one day, my parents had done them for years,
and I was sharing with my children about them one night while we were sitting around the
fireplace making scarves, hats and blankets for Christmas. One of the kids asked, could they
be made out of yarn, could we make prayer cloths out of what we do with our looms? To
which, of course the ever proud mommy, replied, why yes, it could be out of anything we
choose.
Thus began our new mission, we began making prayer cloths, which then turned into prayer
shawls, intended to be able to wrap around the person while they were in their time of prayer
and study in the Word of God, that they would have tangible evidence of God's touch and
evidence that someone was always praying for them.
It has now become prayer cloths for those in the hospital, where they can have them under
their pillow, hold them close when they can't have large items with them, prayer shawls for the
women, prayer scarves for men, and for either depending on situations, we make lap blankets
for those that would need a covering.
Each item is made by hand once a prayer request has been given to us from someone, asking
for a cloth. It is made through either crochet or knitting loom and we pray over the item as it
is being made for that person, for healing, restoration, encouragement, or whatever the case or
need is. As one person is making it, there are at least two people praying, the creator and
another to pray in agreement through the creation process for the intended persons prayers to
be answered.
Once the item is finished, we take it to church, lay it at the alter, and then together our family,
with others in our church that want to stay for the anointing ceremony all gather around, each
taking a portion of the cloth in hand, we then anoint the cloth and together we pray that the
Holy Spirit will come and fill the item with his anointing, that God would use this item for His
purpose and that the recipient would have answers to prayer like they had never seen before,
and that they would feel the presence of God while wearing the item and feel our love and
prayers for them as well.
It has brought on amazing results and we have been through miles and miles of yarn that has
given comfort to so many. My heart is full to see what just one small family can do with some
yarn and a hook, see what their prayers and desires have brought about in our community.
If you know someone who is in need, call us or email us to request a prayer shawl, blanket,
cloth, or scarf from our ministry and we will have an anointing service and pray with our
congregation and send it on your behalf to that person.
