- TestimoniesThe earliest prayer summits were for pastors, nearly all men, to gather together for a time of prayer, worship and fellowship.

Finally, congregations, inspired by their pastor or members of the congregation began to set aside time for prayer summits of their own.

“A Prayer Summit is a prolonged, typically four-day, life changing worship experience. It is attended by a diversity of Christian leaders from a specific geographic community. Their sole purpose is to seek God, His kingdom, and His righteousness. The expectation is that God will create and guide them through a humbling, healing, uniting process, which will lead them to a unity of heart, mind, and mission and qualify them for the blessing of God.”
-Dr. Joe Aldrich, founder of IRM

The 1992 Billy Graham Crusade in Portland was so impacted by Prayer Summits that they made a special video about the crusade. Here is a shortened version (10 minutes) of that video. Though it is more than 25 years old, it still captures not only what did take place, but what can take place because of Prayer Summits: “The Portland Story”
