Pain. Trials. Difficulty.

Sooner or later, we all face what the apostle Paul called “the sufferings of this present time” (Rom. 8:18). These moments bring tough questions: Why is this happening? Where is God? The challenge of suffering has troubled every generation of Christians.

At this year’s Prayer Conference, we ask: What does it mean to walk through suffering with the Spirit, our “Comforter”? We’ll explore not just the theory but the practical: How do we endure trials with “joy in the hope of the glory of God” (Rom. 5:3-4)?

Grounded in Scripture, this two-day event offers practical tools for navigating pain in God’s presence. Whether you're in a valley or supporting others through theirs, join us as we journey together, trusting in God’s comfort the entire time.

What is the Prayer Conference? 

The vision of the Prayer Conference is simple: “Teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1). Just as the disciples ached to learn how to communicate with God—so we today yearn to converse with the living God. We believe that we not only talk to, but hear from God through the practice of prayer.

Unlike other conferences, the Prayer Conference is a unique experience of prayer practices, discussion in triads, and engaging teachings from our keynote sessions and workshops. You will leave having put into practice what God lays out in his Word.
