Presented by: Lurone "Coach" Jennings

Workshop description:

This workshop is designed to encourage the body of Christ to have a specific focus on how prayer is used as a powerful weapon to bring about community transformation.  The workshop will provide strategies to address community issues that the church should be engaged in without fear.  These issues include crime reduction, poverty, education, unemployment and job creation, gangs and drug problems.  All of these issues are spiritual warfare related and orchestrated by Satan.  Exercising the power of prayer will help deliver people from the stronghold of these sinful activities and prepare the way for them to be led to salvation through Jesus Christ and live more abundantly.

Time: Friday 2 to 4 p.m.
