Event: Intercessory Prayer Training
Every missionary disciple needs to be equipped with skills that will help us more intentionally accompany others into personal friendship with Jesus. One of those skills is the readiness to pray spontaneously with someone for their needs and intentions. Instead of saying, “I’ll pray for you,” we want to be ready to say, “Can I pray with you right now for that?” Join us for a training that will teach you this skill and give you a greater comfort level with praying with others.
