Prayer Paradigm Shift
Why do we even need training in prayer? Don’t we naturally know how to pray?
When it comes to prayer, you may know intellectually that it is important and even impactful, but our actual habits of perfunctory prayer or prayerlessness tell a different story.
Or maybe you find yourself in the same boat as Jesus' disciples. They prayed all their lives, yet of all the things they could have asked Jesus for, they asked, “Lord, teach us to pray!”
Whether your starting point is a prayer-less man-made ministry, or you’re resurrecting boring prayer meetings, recovering a Biblical vision and heart for prayer individually and corporately begins here. This is the framework and backbone that spans all of our resources.

Experience prayer renewal, revolutionize your vision and build practical prayer leadership skills in facilitating dynamic prayer experiences.
Ignite Prayer Vision with Your Leaders
Prayer Revolution: Rebuilding Church and City (Book)
Are you praying constricted prayers or disruptive ones? Most prayers are constricted, focusing only on self and envision God as a heavenly caretaker of our needs. On the other hand, disruptive prayers are powerful, uncommon and deeply biblical—focusing on God rather than self and seeking to advance Christ’s kingdom. When we pray disruptive prayers, that's when the revolution begins.
This book shows you how to equip leaders, fuel kingdom movements, and do real damage to the powers of darkness in the here and now. But most of all, discover how your own heart will be transformed as you begin to see how much bigger prayer, and God, is than you ever thought possible.
Key Audience: • Mature believers • Ministry leaders • Pastors + Planters • Prayer leaders • Missionaries • Network + Movement Leaders
Outcome: • Call leaders to a bigger vision of prayer • Prime leaders to mobilize prayer discipleship into each ministry
Best Use: • Personal reading • Training leaders
Format: Book (12 chapters)

Train Ministry Leaders with Prayer Facilitation Skills
Leading Dynamic Prayer (Book)
You’re committed to building prayer in your ministry, but it’s a tough go. Prayer meetings are poorly attended, often weighed down by a focus on crisis requests.
How do you create a culture where prayer becomes the heartbeat and vision of your ministry, where prayer blesses the church, battles evil and sin, and engages the world?
Engaging dynamic corporate prayer does not magically happen on its own. Just as preaching effectively requires carefully crafting sermon delivery, leading dynamic prayer needs intentional preparation and meaningful facilitation to be fruitful.
Empower your leaders with a holistic and practical prayer vision and pedagogy of how to facilitate transformative prayer. Equip your leaders with prayer leadership skills to create a prayer discipleship plan that intentionally integrates prayer into every area of ministry.
Key Audience: • Prayer leaders • Ministry leaders • Pastors + Planters • Campus ministers • Missionaries
Outcome: • Equip leaders to systemically build prayer into all ministries • Train leaders to lead dynamic prayer meetings
Best Use: • Training ministry leaders • Training small group leaders • Training prayer leaders
Format: Book
“In training for outreach, often Christians are very intimidated in how to share their faith with others. Prayer Evangelism is one of those disarming ways. People are incredibly appreciative when you offer to pray for them. Some non-Christians have said it is the closest thing they’ve experienced of God in their lives. It’s been incredibly fruitful and beneficial.”
~Mike Ivancic, Leader in business, Grace on Bow, marketplace ministry outreach, Assistant Pastor, New City Church, Calgary

Prayer Discipleship
As you gain momentum in cultivating the vision for building a house of prayer, now is the time to mobilize and train your leaders to disciple each of their groups and ministries to be rooted in kingdom prayer.
Not just any prayer will do. Without biblical patterns for prayer that expand our vision of Jesus, we stray into small and domestic prayer that tame God into merely solving our problems.
Set your people on a path of kingdom-expanding prayer that results in multiplying new believers, renewing churches, and reaching the nations.

It has given us a vision to be a church that prays, with a prayer culture in our church that pervades everything we do. For us, this series is just the beginning!

Engage the Conversation (Curriculum)
It’s not uncommon for believers to feel fear or discouragement when it comes to sharing their faith. Meanwhile many seekers are open to prayer; rarely will anyone say no if you offer to pray for them, especially in times of need. Praying for seekers is a tangible way to care for them.
This training will encourage you to engage seekers in a genuine and relevant way. With a focus on the heart, this training is less about technique, and more about listening to Jesus and to others through prayerful conversation. Let Jesus dispel your fears with his heart for you and compassion for your friends as you learn to introduce people to Jesus, inviting them into prayer conversations with him.
Each session is built on Biblical teaching, interactive discussion, hands-on prayer exercises and tools.
Key Audience: • Believers • Small groups • Outreach leaders • Pastors + planters • Campus ministers • Missionaries
Purpose: • Equip Christians and leaders for a lifestyle of sharing Jesus through prayer
