The goal of this 6-week seminar is for students to experience what it is to be an engaged, powerful participant in intercessory prayer who connects to God's heart, and becomes one who infects people around them with hunger to dwell in God's house, praying for the burdens of His heart. Students will become confident in planning and implementing creative Spirit-led prayer times. They will develop their skill in proclaiming the Word of God to overcome the enemy's strongholds in their own life and in the cities and nations we will pray for. They will learn to use the gifts of the Spirit when doing evangelism and will also be equipped with new ways to encounter God in their personal devotion time through contemplative prayer and silent prayer.
