What is a Gap Sister’s Group?

“What is A Gap Sisters Group?”  A Gap Sisters group is a prayer group that can be formed in any venue.  Gap stands for “God Answers Prayer”.  Gap sisters “Stand in the Gap” for and with each other.  Our Gap Sisters group started with two women meeting together to pray for their husbands and family.  Word spread and within a few weeks it was not just two women, it was a group of women.  Before long, we needed a real room.  (We had been sneaking into the Bride’s Changing Room at our church).  Our group has now been meeting for nine years.

Some helpful things to keep in mind when starting a Gap Sisters group are:  CONFIDENTIALITY IS A KEY!  This is one of the biggest factors that must be strictly maintained.  In fact, it is a good idea to have this policy written down and have new people sign that they understand that what is prayed for is not to be shared – even if it is a “praise”.  One thing I have had to fight is the urge from some of the sisters to “Share things with their husbands”.  I understand this desire to share as they feel they are “one in the flesh” so why can’t they share?  This should really be discouraged.  In fact, if your Gap Sisters group develops an email loop (more on that in a bit), please ask that the email address be a private one – not the family email loop.
