Included are case studies, delivery models, practical tools, reproducibles, analysis worksheets, and forms that can be downloaded. This book provides instructions for:

School of Missionary Discipleship - Year 1

course code: edn-596-02

Prayer is a personal relationship of growing intimacy with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Many Christians want to pray, know they should pray, have tried at different times to start a  habit of prayer, but for a variety of reasons have difficulty entering into a more consistent habit of prayer or a deeper encounter with God when they do pray.

This course will provide a great foundation to help those new to personal prayer, as well as those well experienced in personal prayer, to enter more deeply into their daily relationship with God. We will cover essential principles of relational prayer, specific methods of Christian prayer, the interplay of prayer and virtue, and an introduction to discernment of spirits. Together these elements will help participants of any background to “fall in Love, stay in Love and let Love make all the difference.”
