News & Updates.

Since our launch into Honduras last June the College of Prayer continues to grow rabidly. In fact, we now have 29 Local Church Campuses and we believe in the next 36 months another 30 will launch. For two days towards the beginning of December, Don Young, Pioneer Director, met with 141 pastors from 4 denominations in the mountains of Honduras. We trained them in the Advanced Leadership Training (ALT) and they all received certificates to start campuses throughout Honduras.

During the two days we saw a number of miracles. A woman with terrible arthritis could not move her fingers, but God moved during a worship time. No one touched her, no one laid hands on her ... the Holy Spirit just came on her and she was healed. She gave testimony and showed Don her hands. Another person attending had never understood prayer in such a way as it was being presented at the ALT. For 22 years she prayed, but she had never heard teaching on the Lord's Prayer Pattern. It totally changed her life. She was dancing and shouting and thanking God. She said, "Today I felt His manifest presence!"

A new campus of the College of Prayer was launched in Nazareth, Israel in November. This campus was formed in partnership with Nazareth Evangelical College. Below is an edited report from Bethlehem Bible College regarding the module that took place. The original report can be found by here.

Nazareth Evangelical College, an extension of Bethlehem Bible College, held a prayer conference in the last week of November in collaboration with the College of Prayer, which is based out of Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Many students and church members from Nazareth attended the conference in addition to a group from Bethlehem Bible College’s staff. 

The conference lasted for three days, and contained lectures and workshops by Rev. Fred Hartley III, the founder of the College of Prayer [International], who spoke on spiritual topics such as hungering for God, how to pray, and the Lord’s Prayer Model. Rev. Hartley also spoke about how we are healed of an orphan mentality and how to receive the blessings of God the Father. There was also a powerful message on the power of forgiveness and blessing all those who’ve harmed us.  All of these teachings were to empower us to pray with the love and power [as] children of God.   

Pastor Jack Sara, the president of Bethlehem Bible College, came with a group from Bethlehem to attend the conference. He led the worship the whole three days of the conference. Rev. Yohanna Katanacho was the primary translator for each message and provided oversight for the entire conference.  Many pastors (including an Orthodox priest) from the Nazareth region were in attendance, with several churches represented. It was a special time for the body of Christ in Palestine to connect with each other and come together in the unity of the Spirit. Rev. Fred Hartley also brought a prayer team from the United States, and they were a great blessing to the local church.

Nazareth Evangelical College and Bethlehem Bible College look forward to continued partnership with [the] College of Prayer [International]. This conference was the first year of training at the College in Nazareth, and we look forward to the upcoming conferences in the next two years.
