MESSAGE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL PRESBYTERY
TWO UPCOMING SEMINARS
LET US INTERCEDE: Leading the prayers of intercession in your local church
Join us for two seminars hosted by the International Presbytery, offering an introduction to intercessory prayer, the vital and powerful practice of praying on behalf of others. Led by the Irene Bom, the Presbytery Worship and Prayer Promoter. These sessions will explore Biblical foundations, share real-life stories, and provide simple ways to begin or deepen your intercessory practice within your congregation. Whether you’re new to leading prayers in church, or seeking to grow in confidence, there will be space to learn, reflect, and share together. All are welcome.
