X17
The X17 Team is based on the story in Exodus 17.
Aaron and Hur helped hold up Moses’ hands during the battle. As
long as his hands were elevated, the Israelites won the battle. But when his
arms became tired and dropped, the Israelites lost the battle. With
Aaron’s and Hur’s help, Moses led Israel to defeat the
Amalekites.
Mike Glenn has asked people who have a significant commitment to prayer to
join this team in praying for him and the other worship leaders during our
services on Sunday mornings. Many of the issues we face in our church are
spiritual issues, and as such, require spiritual answers.
The X17 Team gathers in the choir room every Sunday and is committed to pray
as both worship services take place. If you feel called to participate in this
vital ministry, then you are most welcome.

P.I.T. Crew
The idea of a personal intercessory prayer team for pastors and Christian
leaders is not new. Moses, Aaron, and Hur served as an intercessory prayer team
for Joshua in the battle of Amalek (Exodus 17). An intercessory prayer team made
the difference between victory and defeat for Joshua and for the nation of
Israel.
In the New Testament, Jesus prayed for Simon Peter. Jesus said,
“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed
for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail.” Satan still desires to
sift pastors and Christian leaders like wheat. As Jesus did, we must pray for
leaders that they will not become discouraged or disheartened.
