HOUSTON, July 27 /
Christian Newswire/ -- The 13th Annual Prayer Explosion, sponsored by The Prayer Institute and hosted by Pastors Kirbyjon and Suzette Caldwell of the 15,000-member Windsor Village United Methodist Church, is set for October 7-10, 2009 at The Kingdom Builders' Center in Houston, Texas. World-class anointed leaders from around the globe have committed to be part of the "Four Days of Glory" and help fulfill the Conference's promise to make a difference in people's lives. In addition to Bishop Blake and Roland Martin, speakers include Evangelist Joyce Rogers, Bishop Tudor Bismark, Dr. Leonard Sweet, and Steve Riggle, along with worship leader and Gospel Music Recording Artist Kathy Taylor.
According to Pastor Suzette Caldwell, Board Chair and President of The Prayer Institute, "powerful transformations take place every year at Prayer Explosion. It is more than a conference, it is a unique, life-changing event that fosters an encounter with God and empowers believers to step out and be bold in their prayer lives. People from across the nation will gather to learn, intercede and celebrate as they step into the supernatural realm, feel the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and experience all that the Father has for them."
Pastor Suzette and The Prayer Institute team, produce the conference every year with the desire that participants might not only step into more powerful and results-driven prayer lives but also be encouraged to intercede for their cities, the nation and the world. Throughout the year, the team conducts prayer classes that have taught thousands of people to pray based on The Model Prayer (also the Lord's Prayer). Numerous testimonies citing positive results from praying the way Jesus taught His disciples to pray have been collected. Pastor Caldwell and The Prayer Institute took the united prayer concept worldwide this year through a prayer event called "A Day for O.N.E. (One Nation Empowered)" where congregations prayed the same prayer in support of President Obama, his cabinet and America. The Prayer Institute developed prayers based on The Model Prayer for President George W. Bush and his administration during his tenure as well as a prayer for the inauguration of President Obama. Pastor Suzette's leadership has also included organizing a chaplaincy for Hurricane Katrina and serving as co-chair for National Day of Prayer-Houston and as Director of Prayer for CityFest Houston hosted by Luis Palau.
