As a leader, we know:

• You desire to love Jesus more deeply. You’re hungry for more joy and power in seeing the advance of Christ’s message and mission in the world.

• You take great joy in seeing Jesus’ kingdom come – believers growing in the gospel, seekers coming to know Jesus, and cultural renewal in your city.

• You long to see movements of prayer and revival pour out in our day in our cities and nations.

We also know the struggle is real:

• You feel isolated, exhausted from the weight of spiritual leadership.

• You are tired of going through the motions of doing church programs that don’t translate into actual discipleship, fruitful evangelism and life transformation.

• You feel alone in your vision to mobilize prayer. You’re unsure how to disciple your people to move beyond prayerlessness or mature beyond stress-relief prayer to powerful intercession.

• You feel the complex challenge of making disciples for today’s world, who can discern the times and engage the Good News in a world of uncertainty, rapid change, division, distraction, consumerism and media influence.

We know the struggle because we live in those places too. It doesn’t matter how far or long you go in ministry, the spiritual battle is real, exhilarating and demanding, especially in our emerging world.

Unprecedented times like these highlight our desperate need for prayer, and for gathering together (in a socially distanced way) to join our hearts in unity with Jesus and his body.

And this is why we are gathering mission leaders like you as co-laborers in Christ to pray, to be refreshed, to build lifelong connections and to equip each other by prayer for faithful and fruitful ministry.

“They lifted their voices together to God…” ~Acts 4:24

WORLD STREET EXPERIENCE is a 4-day in person intensive prayer training bootcamp workshop that will equip you with vision and practical skills and tools to empower you to lead your people and organization to follow Jesus through prayer, so that you can bear the fruit of making multiplying disciples, grow your ministry and reach your world – all for God’s glory.

Refresh your prayer relationship with God and prayer conversations with your team. Make room for God to breathe new life and kingdom expanding vision into your prayers.

Connect with like-minded mission leaders in life changing conversations and prayer experiences. Unite in powerful prayer in one spirit for our cities, nations and world.

Renew your focus and urgency on the mission. Hit the streets with prayer walking. Collaborate with peers who get the challenge of catalyzing prayer and discipleship amidst complex urban realities.

Gain practical prayer leadership skills, coaching and feedback. Learn a prayer pedagogy that engages people in heart transformation. Leave with a plan and resources of how you’ll bring kingdom prayer into every area of your organization.

WORLD STREET EXPERIENCE is designed to create deep connections with God, with one another and with the world – through prayer.

More than a conference, we are a 4-day prayer gathering connecting a community of mission and movement leaders with a deep passion and call to lead on our knees by prayer.

These key ingredients make up rich and transformative sessions:

PRAYER PRACTICE: We won’t exhaust you with a firehose of information. We design experiential learning so that half our time is spent in creative prayer engagement and interactive, immediate application. As we practice prayer, God transforms our head knowledge into heart experience.

KINGDOM & URBAN FOCUS: We’ll train and practice Biblical kingdom prayers powerful enough to engage our rapidly changing and challenging urban landscape. We’ll prayer walk the center of the city at street level. We’ll intercede for the heart of our cities and nations.

ACTIVE CO-PARTICIPATION: We won’t overload you with talking heads, where you’re passively consuming information as spectators. Contribute your experience in small group interaction and peer coaching with leaders who are building the kingdom of Jesus in the trenches just like you.

TRAIN THE TRAINER: Just as we need to learn preaching skills to deliver a good sermon, discipling people in prayer requires an engaging pedagogy and facilitation skills that go beyond lectures. Complete a mini prayer practicum with coaching. Learn to use proven resources to disciple your people in strategic kingdom prayer.

WORLD STREET EXPERIENCE is designed for:

What Will It Cost You to Keep Pursuing a Prayerless Way of Doing Ministry?

• Exhaustion and overwhelm in maintaining the ministry out of hard work and human effort will rob your people of power, joy and freedom.

• Anemic, self-focused, survival prayer won’t take your people far in the spiritual battle. Leaders weak and untrained in kingdom prayer lead to little lasting fruit.

• Prayer meetings attended sparsely by a handful of aging prayer warriors will soon become extinct.

• Believers in your care remain spiritually immature, frozen in fear, missing out on the bold joy of following Jesus into the harvest field.

• Seekers remain wandering and lost, not knowing a single believer who can witness to, love, and pray for them to get to know Jesus.

What You Will Gain

We have helped hundreds of leaders and dozens of ministries re-orient and build a foundation of prayer, weaving prayer throughout the entire fabric of the organization.

When your ministry is truly a house of prayer, imagine what you can see God do:

• Believers experience joy and power, maturing into missionaries

• Seekers come to know Jesus

• Homes become ministry centres

• Neighborhoods turn into parishes

• Churches transform into the crossroads of kingdom renewal

• Bold spiritual advance in the city eclipses retreating out of fear

But you have to choose to prioritize prayer. Building a foundation of prayer won’t just happen on its own.

It requires the power of the Spirit, concerted intentional effort, Biblical tools and prayer leadership skills.

There is no cruise control for prayer. Lasting spiritual advance cannot happen apart from prayer.

So, are you ready to answer the call?

“Even those I will bring to My holy mountain
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar;
For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” ~Isaiah 56:7

The conference is set-up so that you arrive during registration and leave after the closing session. There is a continuous thread to the content so arriving late will be disruptive. We ask that you not book to leave early, as much of the summary and planning action steps forward culminates in the final hours of the conference.
