News & Updates.

God is using the College of Prayer to prepare the church in the United States for a great revival. While our growth internationally has been catalytic, we are now significantly gaining ground in more churches, regions, and church networks in our own country. Praise the Lord!

New U.S. campuses have launched already this year including:

• Greenville, SC
• Charleston, SC
• Kisimmee, FL
• Wheeler, WV

Many new churches are accessing our Revival Now Media platform and using our small group videos series. One church recently wrote us telling us they had over 100 participate in The Seven Wounds of Christ series.

We are rallying hundreds of pastors to join us for our 2022 iGNITE gathering, September 15–17 in Atlanta. Our theme will be Revival Now! We'd love for you to come. Visit www.2022ignite.com for all of the information.

We are currently securing 5-7 strategic and influential churches throughout the nation to host a series of Building a Praying Church conferences in 2022 and 2023. Locations have already been secured in Manhattan, Baltimore, and The Bronx. 

We are confident that God intends to use the College of Prayer to stir revival in the U.S. Our goal is to plant 100 College of Prayer campuses within the next 2 years. Please pray with us!

If you are a visual pray-er, would you consider downloading our world map and praying for the nations we are not yet in? We believe in the next 16 months we will be actively ministering in every nation on earth, but it won't happen without a concerted team of intercessors crying out to God, "Lord, give us the nations!" 

February 8-10 we hosted our annual Ignite Conference through live stream with a limited in-person audience. We had roughly 400 active viewers each night reaching into 22 nations (Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, China, Germany, United Kingdom, Norway, Philippines, Mexico, Kenya, Honduras, Chile, India, Canada, Jamaica, Australia, Colombia, Algeria, and Spain). Our total audience reach was well over 2,500 (those who saw the live stream for some duration). More importantly, many lives were changed as we focused on knowing God as Father and emotional and spiritual wounds were healed. Just recently a seasoned pastor in New York City told us that his life was forever changed in February. He went back with renewed zeal and started 8 upper room prayer gatherings around Manhattan and The Bronx!

​For a generation struggling to find identity, Father is the way home. In his newest book, Fred Hartley opens up the depths of the name Father—the name God chose for Himself so that He could include ordinary people like you and me in His ever-expanding family.

Father is the wading-in point in the ocean of prayer, but it is also the Mariana trench—the deepest point you will ever go in prayer is Father. No matter where you are in your Father journey, Just Say Father will validate your heart and encourage you in your quest. Low self-esteem and superficiality are some of the curses of our age—Father is the cure!

This book includes a small group study guide as well as a FREE small group video series! Click here to order your copy today.

The following report is from Fred Hartley, III, President of College of Prayer International.

Thank you for your partnership with us in two weeks of training for Arab World Christians. I have never seen so many victories among so many leaders in my life. All glory to Christ!

By the grace of Christ, we trained 153 pastor-leaders from 12 nations who oversee 513 churches and 3,107 house churches who anticipate starting 5,642 upper room prayer gatherings within the next month. But these statistics only tell part of the story.

• Every leader we served is part of the persecuted church. 
• Many have already spent time in prison; one man watched his mother killed right in front of his eyes less than two years ago. 
• One leader returned to his nation (for security reasons we cannot mention specific nations) where he already started 19 Revival Prayer Groups in his city. In the next few months, he intends to go to every major city in his country to share the same teaching he received. 
• The van driver who drove us during the week prayed to receive Christ two hours into our road trip. 
• The majority of leaders we trained told us that the evangelical churches all across their nation had been fasting and praying for revival over the past four months. They all told us that we are an answer to their prayers for revival—God will use the training we gave as a catalyst for revival.

We are planning to return to this undisclosed area at least two times over the next 12 months to further train these world-changers who will train others and ready the church for the return of Christ.

Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for praying. Thank you for giving financially to make this possible. Thank you for standing with us as we mobilize the church to reach the final unreached people on earth.

- Over the past 38 weeks, we have pioneered ministry in 38 new nations.
- We have begun ministry in some of the most persecuted nations on earth. For security reasons, we cannot mention names.
- We have utilized Zoom to rapidly expand ministry into new nations. By the grace of Christ, we have identified a number of key leaders with whom we have already begun mentoring relationships.
- We anticipate pioneering 20 more new nations in the next 20 weeks. Keep praying.
- Revival Now Media has launched well. Our new app and new small group series are getting traction.
- New campuses are set to launch this Fall in the US.
- We are scheduled to facilitate Encountering God Weekends in several great churches.
- We are developing new partnerships in the US with some exciting new church networks and other ministries.
​- We are adding a number of new pastors and leaders from across the US into mentoring groups within the Revival Prayer Institute.

Even despite restricted travel, God is moving in Spanish-speaking countries throughout the world. Our Regional Director, Rev. Luis Calderon, has been training church leaders globally through the use of Zoom. He has been to Italy, Spain, Chile, Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Argentina, and Panama.

Luis has been mentoring a couple from Northern Italy (pictured here). They have translated our Year 1 Notebook into Italian and are working on Years 2 & 3. They also use our Year on Fire daily devotional to encourage people in their church and city. God is using them to build a praying church and God is manifesting His presence among them.

We are now training and mentoring church leaders in 19 Spanish-speaking countries. In addition, God has opened doors to training Hispanic leaders in several European countries. This month, we will train leaders in El Salvador, making it our newest nation where we have active ministry.

BREAKING NEWS:
We have known for several years that the College of Prayer is a million-dollar movement. Just yesterday we learned that for the first time in our 23 year history, we received income of $1 million! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! This is a total miracle and it certainly deserves a backstory.

One year ago, our Board of Directors took a giant step of faith—they knew that God had entrusted to us a million-dollar ministry and that it was time to trust him to provide a million-dollars of income. They also knew this would be a huge stretch. The year prior (2019), we had received less than $700,000. When every single board member affirmed this amount, however, we knew it was of God. When COVID-19 hit, and every ministry in the world began to tighten their belts, we knew it would be more difficult. To be honest, it certainly tested our faith. We prayed. We communicated with our College of Prayer family and partners. We gave our international churches the opportunity to participate. We saw absolutely no way that this would be humanly possible, but we also knew that only God could possibly provide the full amount. We all gave what God told us to give. We waited. Every day in December we checked gifts from every potential revenue stream. We had already included the monies from the sale of our house, as well as the government stimulus money. We were eager to be able to announce the result.

This week, when we opened all the envelopes and added up all the year-end giving, we discovered several last-minute large checks, some of them postmarked a month ago! There were obviously major mail delivery delays. To our astonishment, when we added them all up, we had received a few hundred dollars more than $1 million. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! God did it.

We are completely overwhelmed. Grateful. Humbled. Dependent. God supplied for our ministry far more abundantly than we imagined. Please join with us as we give praise to Christ for His miraculous provision.

Thank you for your partnership. Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for your consistent financial support to a ministry that, by the grace of Christ, will touch every nation on earth in the name of Jesus Christ.

One more fun detail: At the beginning of October we announced to our prayer team that we needed $245,000 to end the year financially strong. From that moment, with all money counted, we received $245,130. Hallelujah!

As you know, Christ has put us under a mandate in the next five years to ready the church in every nation:
• Ready the church to receive the reviving presence of Christ.
• Ready the church to reach the final unreached people on earth.
• Ready the church for the return of Christ!
This is our five-year mandate and thank you for your partnership as we see this mission fulfilled.

We are believing that the same God who provided us with $1 million of income this past year will continue to provide this level of income for the next four years as well. It is an honor to serve Christ with you. Thank you again for your commitment to this mission.

Profoundly grateful,
Fred Hartley, III
President
