“A group of American Clergy traveled to England in the nineteenth century to hear the great Charles Spurgeon preach and to tour his church’s facilities.
After showing them through the massive sanctuary and remarkable buildings, Spurgeon asked whether they would like to see the ‘boiler room.’ The visitors politely declined, but the pastor insisted.
He then led them to the church’s basement, where they found a hundred people on their faces in prayer. ‘This,’ Spurgeon said with a smile, ‘is my boiler room.’ ”

“Being a pastor, you’re hoping that your congregation is praying for you. I have seen the difference when they’re not. Most ministers can tell when people are praying for them. Because things begin to happen. Words come to their minds. Thoughts come to them in their relationship with others that probably wouldn’t have happened if someone hadn’t been praying for them at that time. ”
