CEF of NAL Prayer Ministry

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

Prayer is the foundation of ministry. It's also a beautiful connection given by God to His children for us to grow closer to Him and in Him. 

James 5:16 tells us that the prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much; in some versions it says that the prayer of a righteous person has great power. Prayer is the foundation of this ministry, and powerful prayers are needed to accomplish much as God guides and works. On behalf of the children, volunteers, and staff, we ask you to join us as prayer warriors in the spiritual battle for the souls of children and their families.

Please tell us how we can pray for you or for what we can praise God with you.

Prayer Guide

To help you support ministry leaders more effectively in prayer, you can download this useful guide. CLICK HERE. It is a quad-fold tool that can be easily kept in your Bible.

Satan wants to prey on ministry leaders, but Jesus prays for leaders and teaches us to do the same.

Prayer Zoom

Each week, we gather on Zoom to pray for the NAL chapter, the children & their families, and each other.
We'd like to invite you to join us on Thursday nights 6:45pm-7:15 for a time of prayer. You are welcome to join as often as you're able and stay as long or little as works in your schedule that night.
Please email us at nal.gnc@cefalabama.com for the Zoom link.

Before the Throne - November 2026

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” - Colossians 3:17

Thanking God for...

  • 20 Good News Clubs (GNC), reaching 585 children with 6 believing in Jesus!

  • over 124 children & their families hearing about Jesus while making bracelets & even more receiving Gospel bags at 3 Fall Festivals.

  • a ministry partner who has pledged to match funds up to $20,000 by year end to encourage others to grow in giving.

  • the faithful team at First Bible Madison that assembled our newsletter.

  • the subcommittee giving of their time to put together our budget.

Trusting God...

  • stir in His church to teach or host a Christmas Party Club to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

  • protect & grow the seeds of the Gospel shared at Fall Festivals.

  • provide health & safety for our volunteers as they serve “on the front lines.”

  • lead believers from many local churches to come together to share the Gospel with children & their families while making bracelets at festivals & events.

  • call 4 of His people from our 14 counties to join the CEF of NAL committee.

How many teachers have heard this as you listen to children?!... “John 3:16 For God so loved...that He gave His only forgotten Son.”

While REVIEWING Esther with preschoolers, I asked, “What is this king’s name?” A little boy slowly stumbled over the syllables, “king Ah-has-U-E-rus.” My heart FILLED with JOY!!! THEN, I held up my “Sovereign” sign (we had spent time just trying to say it, too). Every preschooler exclaimed, “God is in Control of EVERYTHING!!!”

Will you please come to the Father with us in praise of what God had done and in prayer for the children in our 14 counties: Colbert, Cullman, Dekalb, Etowah, Franklin, Jackson, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marion, Marshall, Morgan, and Winston?
