Discipleship and
Internship Programs
P
ROJECT PRAY has launched a residential
Discipleship Training Program and Internship
Program.
The Discipleship Training Program targets young
adults and church leaders wanting practical training in the
area of prayer and its interface with children and youth,
evangelism-mission, as well as media. We are currently
accepting applications to ‘pioneering’ participants.
There are two components to the program. The
academic component is accomplished by studying
PROJECT PRAY resources and will eventually be
offered virtually through Project Pray University, an
online prayer and discipleship training methodology.
The second component is a practical component. Each
student volunteers with the ministry in some aspect such
as: audio media (podcast, etc.), social media, visual media
(video), publications (book and study guide production).
In addition, each student is expected to be involved in
ministry in the context of a local church.
The program is designed as an 8-12 week program,
but shorter terms are available. Each student raises their
own support for the 20 hour per week program or chooses
to volunteer. At the end of the experience, they will have
the equivalent of 8-12 college-level quarter hours of credit.
We want to spark a hunger for prayer and prayer
leadership. The program is ideal for a young person
who may be between high school and college or between
colleges, wanting to deepen their prayer life. The program
is also open to adults of any age.
The internship program is different in that we are
partnering with local colleges and universities with their
career centers to find students who are considering a
faith-based, church related, ministry career and want to
work in a Christian context.
The internship focus areas include: donor relations,
event planning/coordination, literary media, audio/video
media, public relations, marketing and social media.

Agree 18
I
n January 2017, the Church of God International
Offices paused for Agree 17. In 2018, they conducted
this three-day revival and prayer convocation once
again. Each evening, a live-streamed prayer meeting
took place. The prayer event was a lively collage of
information, inspiration and intercession featuring a
variety of church leaders, missionaries, local pastors,
and students who lead in a time of prayer for the nations
and world.
Members of the International Executive Committee,
the World Missions leadership team, and others,
challenged viewers and those present in the studio.
Simultaneous intercessors took phone calls, and
collected prayer requests from social media.
Engagement among social media and livestream
viewers topped over 75,000 on Thursday, a sign of the
move of the Spirit that reached beyond the walls of the
International Offices. Total engagement approached
half-a-million!
