Love Fort Wayne is sponsoring a prayer conference Oct. 3-4 in partnership with PrayerWorks and 24-7 Prayer USA. The conference will act as a livestream location for the 24-7 Prayer USA National Gathering taking place in San Francisco on the same dates. All the teaching inputs will come from the National Gathering along with six different Fort Wayne worship teams leading throughout the two days. The inputs will come from internationally known prayer leaders and authors such as Pete Greig, Tyler Staton, Katie Adams, Rich Villodas, Jon Tyson, Mark Sayers, etc.
A portion of the registration proceeds will go toward 24-7 Prayer USA that helps resource and multiply prayer rooms all over the country.
The Prayer Conference will be a part of a wider citywide gospel movement week in Fort Wayne and region led by Love Fort Wayne. This will take place during a ‘One City Week’ with other opportunities of citywide collaboration like a ‘One City Serve’ day on October 5th, among other opportunities that week.
