ELECTIVE SESSIONS

Leading Your Church in Missional Prayer Ministry
Date: Nov. 7-8, 2011 & Jan. 9, 2012
Registration Deadline: Nov. 1, 2011
Location: MVNU
Facilitator: Ron Frizzell, Wooster Church
  • 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.' (Jeremiah 33:3).  Imagine the implications for any city where the Church truly begins to pray not just for the in house needs of the local church, but for heaven to come down to encounter every dimension of community life.  As you might imagine, foundations would be shaken, strongholds would be broken, and breakthrough would come.  Transformation would overtake the city on every level.   This is the mission of the Church for we have been instructed to be a House of Prayer.  How do we know that missional prayer moves the heart of God?  It is the promise of God's Word (2 Chronicles 7:14).  Let's learn how missional prayer will purify the heart, mobilize the Body, and transform the community as we seek His plan and take our first steps right where we are.

  • Learn to recast the vision, clarify the vision, articulate the vision, and advance the vision. The critical component to change is not necessarily the vision, but the buy-in by those involved in the church. We will work on changing the internal culture of our church to understand and embrace the unique mission Christ has given us to reach our community with the Good News.
