Prayer Room Computers, Communications and the Internet

By “prayer room”, we mean a room (perhaps at a church) where believers come to intercede with God on behalf of those who hurt, are in need, or otherwise seek prayer support. These prayer warriors may answer a “prayer request” telephone line or consider prayer request cards/lists that have been submitted. They may come to pray for needs that the Holy Spirit has placed on their heart.

Computers, modern communications, and the Internet offer valuable tools for making the work of a prayer room more reliable; and also extending participation to those who can not come to the prayer room, or find it very difficult.

 This 2-day seminar and retreat will survey possibilities and methods, and will also provide copies of programs, and introductory training.  

The seminar/retreat will be held at Holly Cove in East Texas, on the shores of Lake Sam Rayburn, and in the Angelina National Forest: http://sibley.houston.tx.us/Holly_Cove/holly_cove.htm There is a $250 fee that covers all materials, programs, accommodations and meals; but scholarships are readily available.
