School of Prayer Report
SESSION ONE OF THE 2010 REGIONAL SCHOOL OF PRAYER
A GOD EVENT!
The first sessions of the 2010 Regional School of prayer took place all day Saturday the 13th of March. It was held on the lower level of Schwab Manor on the Heritage Ministries Retirement Campus in Gerry, NY. Several people who had attended previous session of the School in 2009 were present. There were also eleven first time attendees.
George Otis, of the Sentinel Group, has documented a number of things that attract God. One of those things is prayer. Another is unity. Others are faith, humility and worship. Put that all together, and any session of the School of Prayer is a “God magnet.” The session on the 13th of March was no exception.
Will Lowry, a highly talented musician from Cattaraugus, NY and a house church leader, provided worship leadership for the School. Pastor Lowry led with an obvious spirit of humility out of a mature and secure faith. His musical gift is coupled with a spiritual gift of wisdom and obedience to the promptings of the Spirit. Many School attendees commented on their evaluation forms how they were ministered to during the times of worship.
Topics that were covered during the teaching segments of this School included, “Discerning our Call to Prayer,” “The Model set by Jesus,” “Releasing the Power,” “Persistence,” “Vision for Transformation,” and “Prayer Mapping Primer.”
All the evaluations of the School were glowingly positive. Here’s a sampling of some comments: “I especially liked the deep insights and chance to put what we learned into practice.” “It is well worth the time and resources. The School of Prayer is motivational and equips you well.” “I experienced the spirit of the Lord’s presence, the peace, hope and unity of the group and clarity of teaching. I appreciate the humility of the teacher.” “To those who have never attended this I say, ‘Go, you won’t regret it!’” “This teaching is powerful!” “I have received new practical insights on prayer.” And so it goes, page after page.
The next sessions of the 2010 Regional School of Prayer are scheduled for the 12th of June and the 25th of September. Registration information and printable forms are available on this web site.
