School of Prayer

 

Dr. Miller Teaching a Workshop

In the fall of 2010, the Spirit gave our Director and our Board a word from Proverbs 24:27 which says, "Finish you outdoor work and get your fields ready; after that, build your house." All that has been done during the first seven years of The Better Place ministry has been the "outdoor work." Now it is time to build the house, and that means it is time to move quickly to purchase and develop property so that the full vision of The Better Place ministry can be put in place. Therefore The Better Place will not be initiating, planning, or organizing ministries such as the Regional School of Prayer while the greatest possible time and attention is given to fund raising and campus development. When we next offer the Regional School of Prayer, it will be on our own campus instead of in borrowed facilities. – Meanwhile, our Director is still available to teach at workshops, seminars and schools that are organized and promoted by other organizations or ministries.

What follows below is information regarding last year's School of Prayer as a reference for those who wish to see what transpires at a school of prayer. Reports on past School of Prayer events can be found upon our news blog.

The 2010 School of Prayer, sponsored and facilitated by The Better Place, Inc., will be presented in three full-day sessions. Each session will stand alone, so participants may come to one or two or all three.

The School will be held from 8:30am – 4:00pm on Saturday March 13th, June 12th and September 25th in the lower level of Schwab Manor on the Heritage Village Retirement Campus in Gerry, NY. Parking will be in the Sellew Manor Parking Lot. The cost is forty dollars for the first session anyone attends and only thirty dollars for subsequent sessions attended. Lunch and a 3-ring binder with note taking material are included in this cost.
