PROJECT PRAY Ministry Report 2017 | Page 3

Project Pray University T he ministry is positioned to move forward with Project Pray University, a dream Doug has carried in his heart for many years. This virtual online training center will allow us access to the world from Charlotte. Here, we will create a virtual learning environment that will allow us to offer training in prayer, prayer leadership and prayer evangelism-mission, around the world. Did you know that no college or university has a leadership, training track for prayer pastors or coordinators? That most schools do not even have a class emphasizing prayer for pastors and church leaders? Project Pray University will offer prayer training, available around the world. Registered participants can attend our Schools of Prayer, receive certification training and access valuable prayer resources. Those who attend a live School of Prayer can complete the course on the website as well. There will be a virtual library of prayer articles, books, videos, teaching and study guides. The site will also include message boards, forums and surveys. Training modules will include assignments, quizzes and evaluations. Our Discipleship Program will use these resources to complete prayer courses. Project Pray University will resource almost a thousand congregations that are now members of the Praying Church Movement. It will speedup training and certification for Associate Presenters for our various Schools of Prayer – and that means multiple presenters active across the nation serving in different places and different denominational streams. The technical framework and website structure are nearing completion. Content will soon be added to the site. Our goal is to go live with at least six online classes by January 2019. We have identified prayer leaders in 83 of the 173 nations – but how do we train them, connect them? Virtually! Internet cafés abound in these countries. The time is now. o YOUR PARTNERSHIP MATTERS W e rejoice that in 2017, we received two major financial gifts which helped the ministry restructure some obligations that we had accumulated, including the costs of our office move – a total of $50,000.
