Importance of Pastoral Leadership in Prayer Conferences
In a prayer conference, the pastor's role in leading prayer is crucial for the congregation to engage in prayer, evangelism, missions, and discipleship. Without the pastor's guidance, the congregation may not actively participate in these spiritual practices. This highlights the significance of pastoral leadership in fostering a community committed to prayer and spiritual growth.
