Bring the Spirit back to the center of your community and watch him enliven the world’s most powerful Spiritual force—the everyday saints around you. This seminar, from the people who brought you the A Praying Life seminar, will give you a vision for and practical experience in praying as a community.
Together, we’ll survey praying communities through the ages and into today and discover what—or who—makes them work. We’ll use tools like the prayer menu and the prayer pyramid to explore the how-to's of praying together, building our practical skills as we build our understanding. The goal of A Praying Church seminar is nothing less than to awaken the sleeping giant, the church, in our midst!
"This seminar began in 1966 when my father Jack Miller first visited L'Abri, Switzerland to meet Francis Schaeffer. There Dad saw something he'd never seen before, a praying community. For the next twenty years of his life, I saw dad work at developing a praying community. So this seminar stands on my father's shoulders. Not only did I learn from my father, but then in raising my family and leading several missions, I've learned by much trial and lots of error how to build a praying community. My desire in this seminar is to give participants a vision for and practical experience in a praying community. We will have multiple opportunities to learn the joy of praying together. Prayer is the heart of the church's life." - Paul E. Miller, author of A Praying Church (Crossway Books, 2023).
