Recommendation of Lydia Fellowship by a Pastor of a local church
As a Pastor of a local church for many years, I highly value and appreciate the ministry of Lydia Fellowship which is interdenominational. At Lydia, small groups of women meet regularly to pray for God’s kingdom to advance and women who attend learn and grow in the ministry of intercession. The spin-off effect is that women from my church who attend Lydia have also formed Church Intercession groups and pray and intercede regularly for our local church. They also pray for urgent prayer needs and for the Pastors. This is invaluable, as prayer and intercession is vital for the local church to see breakthrough and increase.
I highly recommend Lydia Fellowship with its powerful ministry of prayer and intercession, and appreciate that this can contribute to the prayer ministry in the local church.

Testimony from Sheryl
I arrived in Auckland as an immigrant, 10 years ago. Last year through a friend I ended up at a Lydia meeting, not know anything about the group. I was overwhelmed by the sincerity and genuine desire of the ladies to pray and seek the Lord. I had been searching for a group like this for 9 years and eventually, God led me to this group. Talk about “Seek and you will find!”
Persistence does pay off!!
What is so refreshing is that the ladies are from diverse churches and cultures from all over Auckland. This to me is a picture of the original Church, one without denomination, all serving the same Lord.
Prayer is such a unifying force. The Lydia meetings are focused and seem to have the right mix of praise and prayer. As women we need to gather when we can and simply set time aside for the Lord. The Lydia prayer meetings just fill a special space! I always leave encouraged and uplifted.
