Join us for Prayer Summit, an annual regional conference during which we purpose to learn about and continue to pursue a culture of prayer, intercession and worship. The Lord is raising up a host of believers throughout the globe who are committed to serving the Lord with 24-7 prayer and worship, and you play a vital role. You will be refreshed as you continue on your journey of seeking the Lord's face and get connected with regional ministries that are hosting the Lord's presence in a corporate context on a regular basis.
Jim Stern has been the Lead Pastor of Destiny Church since 2006. His heart is to see a community of praying and worshipping evangelists raised up in the heartland of America and to see people really love Jesus and truly love one another. Worship and teaching have always been Jim’s focus and his teaching style makes the Bible understandable to everybody with a shot of humor. Since 2008 he has been on the journey of seeing a vibrant culture of prayer established in every generation of the church. Jim and and his wife Jessica have four daughters and one son.
Allen Hood has served on the leadership team of the International House of Prayer since 2000. He currently serves as the Associate Director of the IHOPKC and as the President of the International House of Prayer University. With an M.Div. from Asbury Theological Seminary, Allen is called to intercede for the fullness of God to be released in the Church and to labor for the strengthening of the global prayer and missions movement. Proclaiming the glorious splendor of Christ Jesus is his joy, and preparing the Bride for the glorious return of Jesus is his burden. Allen and his wife, Rachel, have three sons.
Max and his wife Steffaney have been part of the leadership team of the Potter’s House of Prayer since December of 2013. They believe whole-heartedly that prayer is the primary calling of every believer and should be the principal activity of the local church. Max and Stef’s dream is to establish a prayer culture in the city of Mankato that brings about regional transformation in every realm of culture and society. From that place of breakthrough they desire to go and establish Houses of Prayer among unreached people groups that will ultimately help usher in the return of Christ as the nations join together in prayer and worship. Max and his wife Steffaney have one daughter, Laikyn.
Prayer Summit 2016 will be held at New Creation World Outreach Church. This local church is deeply involved in the prayer movement and is helping build the Potter's House of Prayer. Over the past 9 years, Prayer Summit has proved to be a powerful time in the Lord's presence. As we pursue God together, we trust He will release burden for worship and intercession, and renew our strength as we seek His face.
