Listening Prayer Training
As the world around us continues to experience the acceleration of sweeping change, it is incumbent upon the people of God to recover and re-establish the practice of listening prayer in order to position us to better serve the mission of Jesus in our day.
Brett Heintzman, the director of Light and Life communications and director of our National Prayer Network has taught Listening Prayer training to a number of SMC churches across our conference. He has also served other networks and local churches enabling them to learn about the critical practice of listening to God.
