College of Prayer Philadelphia

Vision
The College of Prayer International has a passion to mentor, train and equip Christian pastors and leaders who will reach a lost world through a revived church. Many groups talk about revival in abstract terms; we are seeing revival happen one life, one local church, one community at a time all over the world. We now have campuses of the College of Prayer on five continents.
Some say, "College? I need a kindergarten of prayer?" Don't let the term "College" fool you. There is no such thing as a natural-born pray-er; we are all beginners. We need to start somewhere. At the College of Prayer, you'll discover people just like you who will encourage your passion to seek the Lord and you will receive teaching from some of the best instructors in the world.

In a sense, Jesus started a three-year College of Prayer with his disciples. The early disciples asked, "Lord, teach us to pray!" in Luke 11:1. We have patterned our training after the response Jesus gave them.

Our vision goes beyond prayer; we want to see the unreached peoples of the world reached with the good news of Christ. We are now seeing this happen in many nations where we have College of Prayer campuses.

Strategy
The College of Prayer is both catalytic and stategic. Our strategy is to create dynamic God-encountering prayer environments that provide a continuity of gatherings we call "modules" by establishing a "campus" which is committed to teaching our 3 years of core curriculum. People are looking for substance and are hungry for an authentic spiritual life. As Christ taught His early followers, He is teaching many of us that the spiritual reality we long for is found not in another conference, but at the throne of God.
We provide a dynamic environment in which study and spiritual mentoring can take place. Unlike conferences, seminars or even prayer summits, the College of Prayer local campus offers a continuity of nine modules over three years in which relationships can be fostered and life-changing principles can be embraced.

Training: We're here to train those who want to get back to the basics of where a vibrant Christian life filled with the presence of Christ starts.
Mentoring: We're here to mentor those who are working too hard, and praying too little.
Equipping: We're here to equip those who desire tools to further their intimacy with the living God.
