    • TestimoniesThe earliest prayer summits were for pastors, nearly all men, to gather together for a time of prayer, worship and fellowship. As the years passed, it was clear that the call to prayer was going out among other groups as well. Soon women in leadership were also gathering for summits, followed by Christians in what was called “the marketplace” — in the workplace and business. Finally, congregations, inspired by their pastor or members of the congregation began to set aside time for prayer summits of their own. Below are links to testimonies from people representing all of those groups. Post-Summit Testimonies Men’s Testimonies Women’s Testimonies Marketplace Testimonies

How can I be sure the Holy Spirit will lead us in dynamic corporate prayer?

Please consider one of the craziest statements Jesus ever made.  He is with His disciples the night before He will be crucified.  It is what we call the Upper Room Discourse of John 13-17.  In John 16:7 He says, “But I tell you the truth:  It is for your good Read more…

What keeps us from focusing on Jesus and worshiping Him in prayer?

For the typical person in the pew, prayer would probably be defined as, “Asking God for things or asking Him to do things.”  Too often we don’t see prayer as a primary means of worship.  David did.  In the Psalms, much of what David wrote was an expression of praise Read more…

What commitments should the pray-ers make for dynamic corporate prayer to be most effective?

There are a few commitments that help make corporate prayer work well.  As a group sees and accepts these, the Lord will be able to deepen the experience of the pray-ers. A commitment to listen to the Lord and move in His direction, and at His pace.  Just as each Read more…

How can I deal with distractions to hearing His Voice?

“But there are so many distractions to hearing His voice!”  You are right about that.  In fact, sometimes I am too distracted to know all of what distracts me!  But I can identify some of them.  The ones I am most familiar with are… my own sense of responsibility to Read more…

How can we encourage equal participation in prayer?

How can we encourage those who normally do not pray out loud to do so, and how can we encourage those who normally do pray out loud to do so less? Equal participation in prayer is a very worthy goal.  This is the key truth Jesus quotes from Isaiah when Read more…

How can I help pray-ers (in my group or congregation) continue to grow in dynamic corporate prayer?

If you get to pray with the same group of people on an ongoing basis, in a home group, a congregation, or a family, you have the possibility of seeing some great, long-term results.  An ongoing diet of Spirit-led, worship-fed, Scripture-based, corporate prayer will produce results that cannot happen in Read more…

How can I be sure I will hear His voice?

Now that’s a good question!  I can be confident that Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, wants to lead us.  I can’t be as confident that you or I will recognize His voice and respond to it.  It has been my prayer for years and years that I would be more Read more…

What should be the primary focus of our prayers?

One of the most effective ways to keep our corporate prayer dynamic is to keep it focused on Jesus.  Jesus and His desires are a far more long-lasting and motivating factor in our praying than us and our needs. On several occasions Jesus let people know that He is the Read more…

Do I really need to be involved in any kind of corporate prayer?

Do I really need to be involved in any kind of corporate prayer?  Why can’t I just pray by myself? The short answer is “no.”  You don’t need to be involved in corporate prayer.  You can just pray by yourself.  You also don’t need to spend regular time in Scripture, Read more…
