Elijah House prayer ministry is a type of biblical counseling that is pastoral in nature. Prayer Ministry Training Course 201 lays the foundations for healing and transformation, both for the students themselves, and for equipping the saints for inner healing and the work of binding up broken hearts (Isaiah 61:1).

We teach foundational principles and tools for dealing with personal and interpersonal issues. Students learn to trace bad fruit to bitter roots formed in the heart (Hebrews 12:15), most often in childhood. They learn how to cut off bitter roots at the cross and bring repentance and inner healing to the heart. Transformation is the goal of this work — to raise up healthy Christians in their own communities.

School lessons include core Elijah House teachings that help us understand how bitter roots are formed and how broken hearts can be healed through the biblical process of repentance and forgiveness. Tools of prayer ministry are taught in this series of lessons, as well as conditions that influence how best to minister.

There are 25 lessons in all, as well as two demonstrations with volunteers from the school. Practical experience is gained through small group ministry time with guidance from experienced leaders.
Students are also provided with a study guide containing lesson notes, references, and enrichment articles. For preparation to attend Prayer Ministry Training Course 201, we recommend an intensive week of prayer ministry with a gifted prayer minister in order to identify latent unresolved emotional wounds and inner healing issues. We also suggest that you begin reading the following books in advance of attending the school: start with the four books of the “Transformation Series,” followed by Restoring the Christian Family, and Deliverance and Inner Healing.

As a prospective student, we strongly urge you to surround yourself with a personal support group. This group should not only include intercessors who will pray for you on a consistent basis, but also your spouse and close friends whom you can trust to tell you the truth in love. Personal support groups model accountability and should be foundational in your personal walk with God. Within a small group you can grow and flourish as an individual and learn to be transparent and trusting in close spiritual relationships.

Come join us and experience God’s empowering presence to bring inner healing to His children and transform their lives.
