Certificate in Prayer & Intercession

About this programme
The midweek prayer meeting has eleven people in a hall built for three hundred. Personal prayer is loud when there is a crisis and thin for the rest of the year. Many believers have been taught how to shout and never taught how to stay.
This certificate builds prayer as a life rather than an event. You study the kinds of prayer Scripture models, learn to pray the passage in front of you, and construct a devotional pattern that survives a working week and a long commute. Intercession is carried further, into family, church, community and nation, while spiritual warfare and fasting are grounded in sound doctrine rather than borrowed slogans. Hearing God and weighing what you hear belong to the same discipline, and character is shaped slowly by all of it.
You will finish able to keep praying when nothing appears to be happening, to lead a meeting that has direction rather than volume, and to teach others the same. Imagine your own prayer life steady in the ordinary months, not only the desperate ones. Intercessory teams often come through this together, and there is room here for yours.
10 courses across 2 semesters, about 1 year of study.
Who it is for
Believers who want a solid grounding in one area of ministry without committing to a degree. It suits workers already serving in a local church, and anyone returning to study after a long gap.
What you will be able to do
Speak and serve with confidence in this area of ministry, understand what Scripture teaches about it, and put that understanding to work in your local church.
