GOD’S 1300 PRAYER MINISTRY

It All Began Here…

In 1994, a small group of people dreamed a dream–a God-sized one. Their commitment was simple, to pray for Biltmore Baptist Church, which then had about 178 members. They would pray for focus, purpose, strategy and that God would move supernaturally to use this body, as they were ready. Soon this group was known as God’s 300. A few years later God’s 600, then 1000. Today it is God’s 1300. Each increment represented a new goal of individuals who would commit to pray for this church family.  Sixteen years later, the church has grown to a membership of over 6500 and seen thousands come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior through the ministries of Biltmore.

God’s 1300 Prayer Ministry at Biltmore Baptist Church is a pro active prayer ministry that involves over 1000 prayer warriors who are committed to pray for the church, ministries, missionaries and staff of Biltmore, with prayer on a weekly basis – seeking only God’s agenda.

Opportunities for Involvement
