Alive Ministries: PROJECT PRAY | MISSION STATEMENT AND CORE VALUES
Mission Statement
Alive Ministries: PROJECT PRAY, the platform for the ministry
of P. Douglas Small, is dedicated to serving as a catalyst for a
‘Great Awakening’ in America and the World, through the
foundation of transformational prayer mobilization to fulfill

– the Great Commandment and Commission]; through strategic
partnerships in both the church ecclesia, and the church dispora

altar prayer, pervasive prayer groups, and praying churches
(Ephesians 6:10-20).

The Holy Scriptures, we believe, are fully inspired and ordained
by God. They inform our values. Renew our mind. Clarify our
decision process. Provide a lens for interpretation of our world.
They reprove and correct, edify and strengthen. They provide
the basis of our authority as a believer (2 Timothy 3:16).
4. GUIDING PHILOSOPHY
We believe the primary call of the church is worshipful
communion with God, out of which flows mission – the call to
be ‘a house of prayer (Godward in orientation) for the nations
(missional in engagement)!’ Therefore, we believe that the
‘reformation’ is still on, that God is restoring his Church. That
the church must b
