    OUR TEAM.

    The College of Prayer International is run by four separate but equally important groups of people: International Leadership Team, Regional Directors, Board of Directors, and THOUSANDS of Volunteers.

    INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TEAM

    Our International Leadership Team oversees the day-to-day operations and moves forward the vision of the ministry around the world. They work hand-in-hand with Regional Directors to provide logistical, financial and spiritual support for campuses and communicate the vision and needs of the ministry wherever doors of opportunity are opened.

    Fred Hartley
    Rev. Fred Hartley, III
    president

    As President of the College of Prayer International, Fred is our visionary leader. He was mentored by Armin Gesswein, whose ideas and passions helped shape the College of Prayer. Fred is also the Lead Pastor at Lilburn Alliance Church, a multi-ethnic church located in metro Atlanta, GA where he and his wife Sherry have served since 1988. Fred has traveled the world preaching and teaching and has authored more than 25 books, many of which are on our Resources page. His books include Prayer on Fire, God on Fire, Church on Fire, and his newest book, Ignite.
