Resilience

A Strategic Renewal Conference
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Romans 12:12

Find renewed strength through life’s trials; new hope for the next chapter of life; direction for your future ministry; a fresh experience of biblical, life-transforming prayer … all within a fellowship of like-minded believers!

Lasting Transformation in Your Church

Do you desire real transformation for supernatural gospel impact, not just superficial innovations for church growth?

See the Impact of Worship-based Prayer

Have you experienced the power of scripture-fed, Spirit-led, worship-based prayer or just “grocery-list,” request-based routines?

The Fresh Encounters Experience

A model for you to engage in corporate worship-based prayer.

For over 35 years Daniel Henderson has led the Church in Scripture-fed, Spirit-led, Worship-based prayer! From small groups praying together to entire congregations seeking God’s face this pattern of prayer has changed the lives of thousands. This year at Resilience we will engage in a large group model of this prayer that you can replicate in your local congregation.
