When I began the prayer seminar ministry twenty-eight years ago, I was a voice crying in the wilderness as far as teaching about prayer was concerned. Actually, I knew of only one person in the U. S. conducting prayer seminars. Many of the seminars utilized a video-tape approach. For a live seminar, a minimum number was required. There was a registration fee. Now, to my knowledge, there are many prayer seminar movements around the world. In fact, many have been birthed by our own prayer seminar. Certainly, there are many who are taking prayer seriously. This is good because prayer is the work that must come before all other work.
