Prayer & Passion DTS
July 20, 2020 - January 1, 2030
Prayer & Passion DTS
If you have a love for prayer and the deep intimacy with God it brings, this DTS is for you!
In Luke 11, the disciples asked, “Lord, teach us how to pray”. Like the disciples, when we learn to pray, the benefits are obvious; we know God’s heart better, grow in intimacy with Him, and understand the power of prayer like never before! Are you ready to draw close to the heart of God and discover what beats on the inside? It’s more than just experiencing that place of intimacy that comes from prayer, but learning to live out of it. Let what beats in your heart come into alignment with what beats in His and MAKE YOUR LIFE A HOUSE OF PRAYER!
- Deepening our relationship with God, aligning our hearts with His, understanding prayer and intercession, and being equipped to live it as a lifestyle
- Intimacy with God. What does it look like to make Him our first love?
- Allowing our hearts to burn with passion for Jesus and for seeing His Kingdom come to earth

- We will also be joining with other ministries in the city of Tauranga at least twice a month for either a time of worship and intercession, or for community helps.
“Coming into prayer and passion I had so much passion and desires but did not know how to bring them to the feet of the Lord in prayer. Going through the journey of growing in prayer and discipline I was able to walk out with a passion and desire to take all that was on my heart to the foot of the cross in prayer. I found a love for that intimate time of prayer with the Lord in a way I haven’t known before!”
Beza Sparkes, 22, Ethiopia/Alaska
“Prayer and Passion completely changed my outlook on the true power that prayer has. It had always been something that I knew worked and I did, but it was boring. Being a part of this stream gave me new understanding of how prayer is worship and fuels the power of heaven connecting with earth. It will move you to a place of praying out of your relationship with the Lord rather than giving him a list of things you want. You will gain a newfound intimacy with God as your prayer life is propelled.”
Tilly Logan, 21, Australia
“At the beginning of the DTS I did not believe in the power of prayer neither did I believe that God even heard my prayers. By the end of it I had no doubt in my mind at all that we have a Father in heaven who always bends His ear to us when we speak and that when we pray in the name of Jesus miracles will be birthed by our words and God’s power.”
Calvin Joubert, 20, South Africa
“Through prayer and passion stream, I was able to see how prayer could be a place of so much intimacy with God. Finding my secret place with Him allowed me to fall in love again with His beauty and goodness. At the same time, God revealed to me the secrets of His heart- how He saw me and how He saw the world. It’s such a privilege to know that there’s a big God up there who trust us and partners with us to bring the kingdom of heaven down on to earth through our prayers!!! And never once did He let me down.”
Jesse Chua, 22, Singapore
“Our DTS was a time set apart to seek God’s face and encounter Him in a completely new way. During those five months, He realigned our heart and mind with His heart and His thoughts for us. We found that to love Him and to sit at the feet of Jesus is the only place we want to be and to live our lives from.”
Emmanuel & Emelie Linder, 28 & 26, Sweden
