This School was administered and facilitated by our Director, Roy Miller. Teachers were Jim and Susi Pegan, Maureen Schafer, C. D. Moore, Dave Piatt and Jim Bailey. – You may recognize some of those names (Jim Pegan, Maureen Schafer and C. D. Moore) as members of The Better Place Board.

Agape Prayer School Students Await Lessons
Here are some comments from the students: “Notable strengths would be unity commitment and love…. The time goes by very fast.” “It’s well run!” “I think this School rocks (can you tell I have teenagers?!) This was my 3rd opportunity to receive ministry and each team has been exactly right. Both the ministry and the teaching have been awesome and incredibly revelatory. I am excited for myself personally and for what God is establishing within His body in this region!” “This is a wonderful ministry. Thank you.” All the students submitted written evaluative responses. Everyone was thoroughly positive. – God highly favored this School (again).

Prayer in Song at Tracy Plaza - photo by Winn Propheter
On Wednesday the 6th of May, the forecast for Thursday the 7th was cloudy with rain and thunder showers. But God’s people were praying for sunny skies for the National Day of Prayer gathering outside on Tracy Plaza in front of city hall in downtown Jamestown. – Thursday morning the skies were dark and cloudy. The local forecast, as heard on the radio, was still for a day filled with rain and thundershowers. But God’s people were praying. – At 10:00am the skies over Jamestown cleared and stayed clear for the rest of the day. God came to the gathering on the Plaza, there was a wonderful spirit of unity, the singing and praying were powerful and God was glorified.
