Vertical Focus School of Prayer

 

Does your church needs to become a House of Prayer?
“My house shall be a house of prayer for all nations” Isaiah 56:7

Consider a Vertical Focus School of Prayer for your church, offered by Metrolina Baptist Association to encourage and equip our churches for strategic, reviving prayer, taught by Dr. Bob Lowman

Your church’s leadership will decide which topics need to be included in your School of Prayer in consultation with us.
