Rio Prayer

Prayer moves the hand that moves the world.

Charles Spurgeon

At Rio Vista Church, we believe that prayer is foundational to life as a Christian and as a church. As Jim Cymbala says, “If we call upon the Lord, He has promised in His Word to answer, to bring the unsaved to Himself, to pour out His Spirit among us. If we don’t call upon the Lord, He has promised nothing—nothing at all. It’s as simple as that. No matter what is preached or what we claim to believe in our heads, the future will depend on our times of prayer.“

The prayer ministry at Rio exists with the goal of making our church a house of prayer, a place in which all recognize the importance of and engage in prayer for ourselves, our church, our neighbors and families, and the world. We believe that the transforming, life-giving work of the Holy Spirit only comes through powerful prayer.

Below, you will find opportunities to receive prayer, pray for others, and pray corporately with others.

National Day of Prayer

The National Day of Prayer is an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of May, designated by the United States Congress, when people are asked “to turn to God in prayer and meditation.” Days of fasting and prayer have been recognized in our country as early as the year 1775, when the early colonists sought the Lord for “the just rights and privileges of the Colonies.”

Today, we are no less in need of the grace and mercy of our God in the affairs of men as they were then. On this page, learn how to join together in prayer with your brothers and sisters in Christ across this great country for the heart of the United States of America. 

As we look forward to May 4th,  we encourage you to take advantage of the following resources to help you intercede on behalf of our nation.

Prayer Guide for National Day of Prayer

On the National Day of Prayer, we invite your family to join Christians across the nation in the National Day of Prayer service at 8:00 PM.

Pray First 2023

Sometimes it can feel like there is so much to do or be to successfully walk this Christian life. When in actuality, it is all about learning to abide with our Savior. From that safe and powerful place, we can confidently bring all our requests to God both for ourselves and for others, and then watch to see how He goes before us, opening the way for us to simply follow and share in His redemptive plan for the world! This plan is meant to focus us on these truths, to simplify and strengthen our walk with Jesus and unite us and our brothers and sisters in partnership for the gospel!

We pray that God would meet you mightily in this plan, fill you with His fullness and send you out in power for the kingdom!

We pray that God will meet you mightily in this plan for your freedom and his glory!
