What is The Prayer Seminar?


The Prayer Seminar is a five hour event, conducted in two sessions, that can be used with an entire congregation or with smaller groups such as deacons, youth, or leadership. It lends itself well to retreat settings. There are several patterns that can be followed in scheduling to provide for the six hours of teaching time needed.

The basic design of The Prayer Seminar is to provide very practical suggestions that answer "how to" and "how not to" questions-the same pattern Jesus Himself followed in the Sermon on the Mount.
  • How to - establish prayer as a daily priority of highest importance is covered.
  • How to - organize your praying following a Biblical pattern is explained.
  • How to - worship, praise, confess, and thank the Lord.
  • How to - pray for oneself as well as for others.
There have been seminars in Bible colleges and liberal arts colleges/universities. Prayer seminars have been conducted for state-wide men's retreats, state denominational annual meetings, summer camp meetings and/or retreats for special groups, such as pastors. Seminars have been conducted on military bases and in prisons. Not only does the  prayer seminar stand alone in its impact as a special event, it is excellent preparation for evangelistic efforts, revival meetings, lay witness programs, stewardship emphases (including building programs and budget subscription drives), mission projects, and leadership development focus.

Seminar Costs
The prayer seminar is a faith ministry that trusts God to provide the financial needs through local churches and individuals.
Therefore, we do not charge a set fee. Basically, participants are encouraged to contribute a one-time gift through the church love offering for the prayer seminar ministry as the Lord leads.
We depend upon this financial support to maintain the prayer seminar ministry, which includes the work in the United States and other nations.  
There are two specific expenses that we need help to cover:
Workbooks - Each participant receives a packet that includes a 30-page Prayer Seminar Workbook, a basic teaching tool. It is imperative for each person to have a personal copy for note taking to maximize the benefits. We encourage each person to make a contribution through his church for the workbook. A suggested contribution is $5.00 that also helps defray the cost for those present who cannot give anything. However, any contribution toward workbook cost is appreciated. Or, you can download the whole workbook in PDF for free using the links below. Travel 
Beyond the free-will offering listed above, assistance with travel is very helpful. Sometimes a church can set aside a budgeted amount for travel. For automobile expense, we suggest thirty one cents per mile. When air travel is necessary, we will use an ultra super saver ticket or the lowest cost.
