Reaching the Summit: A National Pastors' Prayer Summit
Critical Prayer for a Critical Time
August 4-6, 2009
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary ~ Ft Worth, TX
Our nation's economic crisis calls for pastors who can lead their people in strong prayers of faith and hope. Our hearts are burdened. We need another National Pastors' Prayer Summit.
Reaching the Summit is a partnership of three national prayer ministries passionate about a renewed urgency for prayer. Once again, International Renewal Ministries, Strategic Renewal, and the National Pastors' Prayer Network will join together for a National Pastors' Prayer Summit. Drastic times require great leadership. This is an opportunity to obtain the skills that build corporate dependence and God-focused praying.
A Prayer Experience that Equips You to Lead Corporate Prayer
This Prayer Summit is like no other. It combines the uniqueness of "Spirit-led, worship-fed, corporate-bred prayer" and at the same time, provides training opportunities for reproducing it in your congregation. It is a Prayer Summit Plus! Our goal? To equip you as a leader in your local setting.
Facilitated by:
Dennis Fuqua - Executive Director, International Renewal Ministries “What would the Church look like if every congregation across the country committed to a meaningful weekend service was also committed to a meaningful time of corporate prayer? What might happen if congregational leaders were as committed to leading their people in dynamic prayer as they are to giving them dynamic preaching? I love what is happening in congregations who are pressing forward in this kind of prayer.”
Daniel Henderson -President Strategic Renewal
“As a Sr. Pastor, I’ve had the joy of leading my congregation in dozens of local church Prayer Summits. Summits are a powerful environment for personal revival and a core catalyst to church health. This is an urgent time to equip more pastors to lead this kind of experience in their own local church. I know of no better tool and no better time for a genuine work of renewal. I believe pastors should make this event a top priority if they are serious about real revival in their church.”
Phil Miglioratti - Founder National Pastors' Prayer Network:
"More and more pastors are realizing they need to become the prayer champion of their congregation, but recognize that teaching and preaching on prayer is not enough. Since most of us lack the skills to lead dynamic corporate prayer, the Summit is designed as a 'lab' - an opportunity to experience Spirit-led praying augmented with discussion on how to implement it back home. This has the potential to transform the prayer culture of your life and ministry.”
