2020 WNOP Leadership Retreat
VISION
The WNOP Leadership Retreat that convened February 5-7, 2020 was spectacular! The VISION-themed retreat was held in the Chapel at UPCI World Headquarters. Prayer leaders from across America gathered to participate in this pivotal event. In the midst of snow, sleet, and ice, 34 people still attended this event. Scott Graham, the main speaker, spoke powerfully on "Why the Fire Matters." It was absolutely amazing! The Spirit of God moved throughout the entire event! A fantastic Headquarters tour also transpired! The following photos and quotes illustrate the indelible impact that was made upon the attendees. Many attendees expressed how the retreat greater equipped them, completely transformed their lives, and provided greater direction in the ministry of prayer! Truly, with tremendous outlook, we endeavor to move forward together with 20/20 VISION!

Quotes:
The recent WNOP Leadership Retreat was an opportunity that I am glad I DID NOT MISS"! The materials, passion, purpose, and directions given, were all disseminated in a manner palatable to anyone. Each speaker set a carefully charted course of action. My head, heart, and life were deeply affected by each of the above. I trust that it will not be washed away by pressing issues confronting me. The ultimate was the deep conviction that many people caring will affect many hurting and hungry persons. The many leaders present, bearing the primary torch of "communing with God" were a blessing.
~ R. L. Myre
The retreat was very helpful because it provided practical instruction for me as a pastor. It also helped me to understand better my role as a Regional Prayer Coordinator. It also gave me some tools that I could use to work with our district board and that I find very helpful. The speakers were relevant. Brother Scott Graham was very helpful to remind me of the need to maintaining fire in the prayer ministry of the church. Sister Flo Shaw did a tremendous job and keeping the sessions flowing and at the same time sensitive to the Spirit. I deeply appreciate her leadership. ~ Donald Rogers
The leadership retreat was well organized, informative, and above all, Spirit Led. I would encourage every prayer leader in every district, and their support staff to attend. They will leave rejuvenated and motivated to serve with excellence! Thank you again Sister Flo Shaw and the WNOP staff for a job well done! ~ Margaret Banks-Butler
Once again, the WNOP leadership retreat was excellent this year. We doubled in attendance and doubled in blessings from the Lord! I so enjoyed the breakout sessions and appreciate all the strength and encouragement that I received from fellow prayer warriors. ~ Juli Jasinski
The leadership retreat was an awesome learning and blessed experience. Any day spent with Sis. Flo Shaw and her amazing team is a very blessed day. Common themes throughout the training were: be aware of the shift, focus, have super-vision, and increase our capacity to love. Over 500 years of prayer was represented there, the place was shaken when we prayed. I was pulled up to a higher level in my understanding of how to partner with God in prayer to produce a more effective relationship and results. I'm always so thankful when the Lord makes a way for me to participate in WNOP events. Every time I'm able to empty myself of a little bit more of me to make room for more of Him. Love and blessings. ~ Christy Skeens
The WNOP 2020 Leadership Retreat was a blessing to my soul and it added it gave me a deeper understanding of the importance of my love relationship with God. God spoke directly to my heart and I will be eternally grateful for all that He has done and continues to do for me through the World Network of Prayer. ~ Jacqueline Britto
There was a sweet and ministering presence of the Lord there. It's such a privilege to be able to stand in His presence this way. The leadership training was totally new, enlightening and priceless. I enjoyed assembling the puzzle most of all. It was a poignant lesson on teamwork. Thank you Sis. Flo Shaw, and all who contributed to this training effort. I learned a lot! ~ Linda Canton
I got confirmation on which way God was leading me in Prayer Ministry. I am 100% confident that He wants me to continue my pursuit of Prayer Ministry. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to WNOP and all the speakers at the Leadership Training...for if it was not for you all I would not have received the confirmation on the Call God has placed on me and my purpose. Thank you all so very much! ~ Jenn Cooke

Deeper in Prayer...When We Go to War!
We can go even deeper, as deep calls unto deep, by adding to prayer, the principles of the Word of God. It is prayer combined with, not only with a desire to understand God's Word, but a willingness to obey God's Word, that is a catalyst for change. When knowledge becomes revelation, Godly conviction can bring about change.
We cannot win the war for our souls or the souls of others without the following elements: a willingness to conform, a consistent prayer life, and God's Word. When we don't begin our day with these, it is not possible to bring our thoughts into captivity, have the mind of Christ, or take a stand against our enemy(s). We can have a lot of wrong, fleshly thoughts every day, but when we pray, bringing these thoughts into accordance with the principles of the Word, we will be able to take revenge upon disobedience, and overcome our adversary (see II Corinthians 10:5).
We must fight against the world, the enemy, and our fleshly thinking. If we do not overcome these elements, we cannot win the war for our souls. The war for our souls is a daily battle that we have been instructed to fight with patience, which includes perseverance, and long suffering (see Luke 21:19). It should not come as a surprise to us that we need to take both a defensive and offensive stance.
II Timothy 3:12 says, "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." James 1:14 says, "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." The enemy knows our weaknesses. But with the sword of the Spirit and prayer, we can resist his enticement. The importance of prayer can never be minimized, but if we don't have our thoughts aligned with the principles in God's Word, we cannot win the war. When we go to war, we must be sure that God is on our side with sincere prayer, and obedience. This week pray as a prayer warrior and go deeper in prayer and the Word when we go to war!

It is imperative that we pray for evangelists. We will focus on praying for evangelists each week. The
Evangelist Ministry recognizes and promotes the Biblical role of evangelist as stated in Ephesians 4:11-12, "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." The Evangelist Ministry is dedicated to preaching the gospel and effectively ministering by partnering with pastors worldwide to gather vision, faith, and harvest, saving the lost, and edifying the church. Pastors can confidently book a licensed, enrolled evangelist that will bless their church. Doug Klinedinst is the ministry coordinator. This week let's pray for all evangelists!
