✦ Practical Training for Simple Prayer Gatherings
Lighthouse Prayer Training is designed to help believers, families, churches, small groups, prayer leaders, and communities begin and strengthen simple prayer gatherings in homes, neighborhoods, churches, campuses, and cities.
A Lighthouse of Prayer does not have to be complicated. It can begin with a few people who gather consistently to worship, pray Scripture, encourage one another, and intercede for their families, churches, communities, and nations.
This training will help you take simple, practical steps to begin, lead, and sustain a prayer gathering with peace, clarity, and spiritual purpose.
✦ Why Lighthouse Prayer Training?
Many people feel a desire to gather others for prayer, but they are not sure how to begin.
They may wonder:
- What should we do when we gather?
- How long should we meet?
- What should we pray?
- How do we include worship and Scripture?
- How do we keep the gathering simple and sustainable?
- How do we help people feel welcome?
- How do we pray for our homes, churches, cities, and nations?
This training gives you a simple pathway for building a healthy rhythm of prayer without pressure or complication.
