Prayer and Intercession - Introduction

Led by Alistair and Marie Petrie

Ever since Ellel Ministries was founded in 1986, prayer and intercession have been right at the heart of the Ministry. It is only through prayer that the work has grown and prospered. When the work began in Scotland God laid it on our hearts to place special emphasis here on teaching about prayer and strategic intercession.

This special course is one of the most important events in the whole Ellel programme. The teaching draws vital lessons from scripture, Christian history and the extensive personal experience we have had in seeing vision being translated into reality and the purposes of God being fulfilled through intercession.

Prayer and Intercession - Teaching Format

The teaching sessions will be blended with a mix of practical prayer times, group work and some free time.

There will be some time set aside in the middle of the course for recreation, with an opportunity to explore some of the beauties of the Scottish countryside.
