The Ananias Project
Any Movement of God Must Be Grounded in Prayer

We wouldn’t have a New Testament if it wasn’t for Paul. But we wouldn’t have Paul…
…if it wasn’t for Ananias.
In Acts 9 we read that Ananias was a man of prayer who courageously responded when God called him to pray for Saul of Tarsus. We don’t know much of Ananias’s story, but we know that through his prayers and teaching, the bloodthirsty Saul became Paul the Apostle.
What Does the Ananias Project Do?
- Undergirds the Fresh Expressions movement through a concerted, coordinated prayer ministry.
- Trains prayer ministers for churches and prayer teams to support fresh expressions pioneers
- Through regular retreats, builds like-minded and prayer-focused individuals and teams
“As Bishop Graham Cray has said, ‘The Fresh Expressions movement is a wave of the Spirit and we’re trying not to fall off’. Prayer is foundational to this movement. If we’re not training prayer teams in our churches and networks, we do a great disservice to those Pioneers who need the spiritual nurture and support to remain on the edge.”
