What Is The College Of Prayer? History: The College of Prayer is a ministry of the Revival Prayer Institute, Inc. established to mentor Christian leaders who will reach a lost world through a revived church. We are a faith ministry organized exclusively for the purpose of mentoring and encouraging pastors, wives, Christian leaders, missionaries, intercessors - all who desire to more effectively impact their world through fervent revival prayer, prayer evangelism, intercession, and worship. The College of Prayer encourages church leaders to commit to a three year program of three classes per year. During the time frame a variety of notable presenters, key topics, and important disciplines of revival prayer ministries are presented. The goal of the College of Prayer is to help build strong praying churches by mentoring leaders in developing a strong prayer life for themselves and their congregations, with the purpose of reaching a lost world with the saving grace of the Lord Jesus.
