I am writing this article today from the Dallas Fort Worth Airport, by the time you read it I will be South Korea. I am joining thirty-five pastors who have been invited to a prayer conference by Pastor Nam Soo Choi.  He started his church in prayer, and he continues his church in prayer, spending about 7 hours in prayer a day. Dr. Choi is not only a pastor, he also leads a world prayer ministry.  We are going to learn how to pray.

You may be wondering why pastors are traveling to the other side of the world to learn how to pray. Shouldn’t pastors already know how to pray. Yes, we should, but I have discovered that the longer I have prayed the less I really know about it. But I also find that I am in good company. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them something, they did not ask Him to teach them how to preach or do miracles, but to teach them how to pray.

We talk about prayer warriors in the Bible, men such as Elijah and Moses.  We talk about great prayer warriors in history such as George Mueller and Bertha Smith.  But the greatest prayer warrior in history was the Lord Jesus Christ. When I learn to pray like him, then I will stop learning.  I hope that you will never start stop learning how to pray.
