We're building Project Pray University. It's a campus designed with flexible training in mind. In the Learning Center you find basic but challenging lessons on personal prayer, the family in prayer, intercession, prayer leadership and the pastoral challenges of rendering the church as a house of prayer. In the Coaching Center, you will be able to secure professional training as a personal prayer coach, as congregational prayer leader, or as a Senior Level Coach serving a number of congregations.
Eventually, we hope to offer a degree in prayer ministry leadership.

Quality Learning Solutions
This is relevant and up-to-date content. There is so much to learn about prayer - it is not a list we give God. It is the relational context in which we grow to be like Christ. We're here to help learners advance in their prayer life and build a strong foundation for their Christian life.
Flexible Options
PPU provides a wide range of learning options, from rather passive, bite-size lessons (Learning Center), to personal contact in the Coaching Certification classes, and the weekly Manna experiences.
Christ Focused
The center of our focus in Christ. Prayer is not about us or our needs - but about our transformation from sinners to those who increasingly bear the image of Christ. At PPU, prayer and the Bible are connected, as is prayer and mission, prayer and the discovery of our personal call and mission - all for the glory of God revealed in Jesus Christ.
