Trainer: Rev. Sue Nilson Kibbey
Live via Zoom
Saturday, March 8, 2025
9:30am-12:30pm ET = Training
Every church recognizes prayer as important. But what happens when a congregation unites to pray collectively and consistently, asking God to break through in new and miraculous ways? You as the spiritual leader can guide your congregation into the kind of church-wide breakthrough prayer initiative that fuels the atmosphere of possibility, and the entire focus begins to shift from inward to up-and-outward. It's easier than you think--and the results will make spiritual history right in your own community and beyond.
This training will help you understand how a simple, additive component of “breakthrough prayer” can be incorporated into what already happens in the daily and weekly prayer life of your congregation--plus how to create and introduce it. You will also be provided many stories, practical examples and ideas from other churches across the country of how their congregations have incorporated breakthrough prayer with innovation and miraculous impact. A whole fresh new season of hope, next steps and opportunity for your church will unfold!
NOTE: This training is designed for a team from your church to attend together, which will give you the best potential for powerful implementation afterwards of what you’ve learned. We recommend your pastor attend plus at least five leaders—or as many persons from your church as you’d like to bring—all for one registration price! Gather together in the same room to view/"attend" this training together.
