Receive Prayer

The primary thing you should expect is to be loved. The prayer team's primary purpose is to abide with God and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. This could be through words of encouragement, images that help communicate truths about who God is and who you are to Him, physical healing, emotional healing. We invite you to come with high expectation for what God will do. Saint Teresa of Avila says: "You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him."

The team will encourage you to sit or stand in a posture of receptivity (eyes closed, hands open), but we want you to be completely comfortable. The team will ask your permission to place a hand on your shoulder, and you are free to accept or decline. 

You may experience a sensation of heat, tingling, or goosebumps. These are physical signs that the Holy Spirit is moving and working. Most often, people experience a sense of peace during their prayer session.

Anyone can benefit from prayer! God always has something new for you. 

Parents must be present if requesting prayer for their child.

Our prayer leaders have all been equipped and trained by well-formed, orthodox and dynamic institutions of formation. Many have been exercising their charisms for many years. 

While we are constantly raising up new prayer leaders and intercessors, our intercessors receive consistent formation and are encouraged to be filled up and equipped on retreats, conferences, and workshops.

All of our leaders and intercessors ought to be...

• Positioned in Love. We pursue the ministry of Jesus from a position of love for God and others; we desire to minister the authentic good for others without any concern for self and personal ambition.
• Aware of God’s Presence. Our goal is to cultivate a ‘presence-driven ministry’ born out of increased awareness of the presence of God in our ministry.
• Intimate with God. We acknowledge that all ministry should flow from a place of intimacy with God; all missionary efforts need to be rooted in personal holiness. We believe that the authentic growth of our ministry comes from our growing intimacy with Him.
• Risk Takers. We encourage and celebrate students taking risks in their pursuit of greater obedience to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. We seek to cultivate a lifestyle of fearless evangelization.
• Patient in the Process. We are intentionally patient with ourselves and with others as we develop our ministry gifts and acknowledge that because everyone is in a process of maturity that patience is the necessary for growth. We are also committed to giving and receiving feedback to help one another mature.
• Persevering toward Breakthrough. We acknowledge that authentic growth comes through overcoming disappointment and that only through a lifestyle of perseverance will we breakthrough into the greatness that God has called for us in ministry.
• Exhibiting a Culture of Honor. We intentionally seek to cultivate a culture of honor where we choose to treat one another with the highest regard because they bear the image of God and we celebrate his work in one another’s lives. We acknowledge that we can only properly receive from the gifts of others when we honor them.
• Pursuing Christian Unity. We carry the Lord’s heart for unity among all who believe (cf Jn 17:21), and work with the Holy Spirit to build bridges with Christians of all denominations. On occasion, we will welcome those Christian leaders from whom our leaders are in relationship with to present to our students.
