Agape Prayer Ministry School

The structure of the School includes six teaching sessions which introduce and explain the AGAPE model. In
addition the weekend includes three periods of ministry in which participants observe and practice the
techniques taught in the larger sessions. Everyone who attends the School for the first time will receive a time
of personal ministry during one of these sessions. Those doing the ministry are fellow participants who are
further along in their training, supervised by a trained instructor.

Those who are planning to complete the AGAPE Prayer Ministry training should anticipate attending at least
three to four Schools. (The number of Schools needed to finish the process is directly proportionate to the
amount of practice trainees receive in their local congregations between Schools.)

Anyone who is not a pastor is not free to attend a training School unless their pastoral leader has already
attended a School or is registering for the current one.

The pastor’s signature is required on the application of all first-time participants. His/ her signature verifies that
the person meets all of the following criteria:

* Is born again and peacefully open to the full workings of the Holy Spirit
* Is a member in good standing in their local congregation
* Manifests fruit of Christian maturity
* Has spiritual giftings which will enable them to function in this ministry
* Has a teachable spirit and submits to spiritual leadership and authority
* Has a calling to this ministry in their local congregation

Please remember that the School is for persons who desire to be trained as prayer ministers. Those wanting
only to receive AGAPE prayer ministry should do so through one of the local participating churches.

The School is held two weekends a year (Spring/Fall) at
Perkiomenville Mennonite Church, Perkiomenville, PA. It is an
intense two-day experience which runs from 8am—10pm on
Friday and 8am—6pm on Saturday. Participants should plan to
stay for the entire School. Housing is available at no charge with
local families. All meals are included in the registration fee.
