Have you ever asked yourself, or another leader, these questions?
How do we ride the momentum of See You At The Pole?
How can we move from the concept of prayer to practical application?
How do we pray as a group?
How do we get our group to grow?
How can we get students excited about Jesus?
A Revolutionary Way for Student to Pray
In asking these questions, our team was led to have a conversation on how to revolutionize our student groups by launching "prayer triplets" as a strategic prayer practice.
Our Free Refills podcast team hosted Barry St. Clair, founder of ReachOut Youth Solutions and VP of Global Youth Engagement with East-West Ministries for a conversation on student prayer. Author of over 30 books, Barry has been on the cutting edge of youth ministry for over five decades.
Prayer As a Strategy That Works
Barry challenged us to use a Prayer Triplet strategy to encourage students to consistently pray with their peers for lost friends. The implementation of this strategy is simple. A Prayer Triple is three believers coming together to pray for three non-saved friends three days a week.
Barry explained, "This is what Jesus told us to do in Matthew 18:19-20 - challenging us where two or three gather in His name and pray, Jesus is also there and hears our prayers." His next statement was a mic drop...
I would say praying together is one of the least used weapons the Lord has given us that is just hidden and you rarely see.
Several of our own team has seen the Prayer Triplet strategy focus the attention of our students in such a unique way as it has increased their passion to reach their lost friends. South Central Regional Coordinator Kevin Miles shared his own experience and how his youth group was impacted by the real effects of this simple prayer strategy.

Barry has just updated his resource on prayer triplets and released it for free to help you implement prayer triplets in your church and group.
