Prayer School with Brian Zahnd

"The primary purpose of prayer is not to get God to do what you think God ought to do, but to be properly formed..." -- Brian Zahnd

Prayer is one of those things that we as Christians know we're supposed to do, but almost none of us have ever been trained to pray in a way that can spiritually form and enrich us.

Prayer School with Brian Zahnd is designed to provide a convenient setting for you to learn about, and actively engage in, the prayer regimen that Brian has developed during a lifetime of pastoral ministry. This prayer school will help you gain a completely fresh perspective on the purpose of prayer, and will provide you with a valuable, sustainable framework for community and personal prayer life.

This will be a quiet, contemplative gathering, and so we encourage you to dress casually and comfortably.

Brian Zahnd is the founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri. Brian is a passionate reader of theology and philosophy, an avid hiker and mountain climber, and authority on all things Bob Dylan. He and his wife, Peri, have three adult sons and five grandchildren. He is the author of several books, including Beauty Will Save the World, Sinners In The Hands Of A Loving God, and the NEWLY RELEASED "Postcards From Babylon".

There will be NO CHILDCARE for this event.
