Presented by: Paul Lawler

Workshop description:

Utilizing the Story of Moses lifting his arms as an act or prayer and intercession in Exodus 17, this session equips us with the understanding of the following Kingdom principle: When we pray, there is power. When we do not pray, there is little power. We will explore the richness of this revelation as it relates to God’s Kingdom advancing through the missional movement of His church.
