The purpose of the SOIP is to teach, practice and encourage the daily exercise of intercessory prayer and to understand the character, nature, and ways of God in prayer, intercession, worship and spiritual warfare. Understanding the significant place and practice of prayer in the believer’s life, and the role of worship and spiritual warfare in making disciples of the nations are taught through lectures, discussions, research projects, book readings, prayer outreaches and in daily personal and cooperate times of prayer . Practical application includes coordinating and leading prayer and worship as well as investing heavily in a given prayer topic over the cause of the school to see transformation take place and God shaping and changing situations, nation...ect though simple obedience in prayer and learning to co work with him. The purpose is to see a generation equipped in understanding their God given place and authority, taking ownership of this earth in building his kingdom in prayer as well as helping them to grow their foundations in understanding Gods character and nature, their relationship with God, their ability to lead others into prayer and developing a prayer life, growing in their identity as sons and daughters and understanding the kingdom of God and our role in it. Out of a place of deep friendship with God naturally people will grow in understanding who they are, who God is and developing a desire to know what is on Gods heart to be able to partner with him not out of a place of obligation and discipline but out of a place of relationship, trust and care.

In this seminar students will discover God's intentions for agriculture as well as the basics to work the discovered truths out in their lives and environments. We learn about composting, soil health, plant health, water management, weed suppression, and creative solutions in agriculture all wrapped up in what we call "regenerative agriculture". We teach methods in which to easily communicate what is learned to others so that the learning can be multiplied and applied practically in sustainable ways throughout communities all across the world. Because agriculture is so dependent upon location, we seek to teach basics and principles that are transferrable as well as a method of thinking to be able to apply said principles to any circumstance.
