School of Prayer Associate
Presenter Program
P
ROJECT PRAY launched it’s new School of Prayer
Associate Presenter Program in 2017. This program
offers certification for a number of the Schools of Prayer
developed by PROJECT PRAY. These Schools have been
presented across the nation and around the world.
“This is a symbiotic partnership,” Small says. “If we can
train leaders to serve an on-going prayer training process
and offer Schools of Prayer in local churches, quality materials
that stretch our prayer theology and practice, then we are on
the edge of seeing a movement of prayer that offers the hope
of revival and awakening.”
Participants attend a multi-day training session where
they learn the content of the Schools of Prayer and review
support materials.
The
first
training
session
was
held
at
Ridgecrest
Conference Center
in May 2017. Over
25
participants
attended
with
three individuals
completing
the
certification requirements. Another training session has
already been held this January.
Our desire is to further the ‘prayer reformation’ taking
place in our churches around the world.
So many people long for God, but they do not know the
Biblical framework for prayer. Theology, sadly, gets warped
by the cultural lens. Our glorious role is help people begin to
recover a Biblical view of prayer, one that is not merely trans-
actional and acquisitional, but also transformational.
Training is currently available in three Schools of Prayer:
The Prayer Closet – Creating a Personal Prayer Room; The Great
Exchange – Why Your Prayer Requests May Not be Getting An-
swers; and PRAYER – The Heart of It All. We look forward to
growing this program in 2018. Contact PROJECT PRAY to
learn more about future training sessions or to schedule

Schools of Prayer
S
chools of Prayer are training ses-
sions focused on learning, experi-
encing and leading in the area of
prayer. They are facilitated by P. Douglas
Small or through our new Associate Pre-
senter Program. The Lord is calling PROJ-
ECT PRAY to train prayer leaders and
mobilize a national intercessory force.
Through our Associate Presenters, train-
ing opportunities are expanded as others
are empowered to present a new theolo-
gy of prayer.
Congregations are encouraged to
partner together to host a School of
Prayer. These events can catalyze a na-
tional effort of prayer and city-impact.
There are three main Schools of Prayer
currently available:
The Prayer Closet:
Creating a Personal Prayer Room
What we seek is more than mere words or a disciplined, noble
routine for prayer. Prayer is a relationship that has to be cen-
tered in the heart. Prayer is not something we do, it is some-
one we are with. And that needs a place! Topics include:
• The advantages of a designated place of prayer.
• Enemies of prayer.
• Creating a habit of prayer.
• Developing a healthy prayer theology.
• The prayer closet as a wedding canopy.
• The publican vs. the Pharisee.
• Understanding spiritual disciplines.
• The prayer model Jesus gave us.
• The three greats.
