Why virtual prayer?

Our vision is to bring people together through the use of technology to answer God’s call to pray in our generation. Our desire is to mobilize a community from around the world to intercede for spiritual awakening and to see God’s glory fill the earth in these last days! We want to help you grow in your relationship with the Lord, be encouraged with inspirational resources, and connect with God’s specific prayer assignments for your life. You can simply join the Global Prayer Network, search for and pray with a current prayer group or even start your own!

Steps to start an online prayer group

Register your group

Wherever you are in the world, you can register your group online HERE and we’ll follow up with an email confirmation that you’re a part of our online prayer community.

Gather a group

This could be people from your Church, workplace, family, friends, fellow students, etc. Share with them why and when you want to pray and ask them to consider joining you for prayer. Remember, you’ll be praying online rather than in a physical location. This means you can pray with people who aren’t in your local area or time zone if you feel led to do so.

Identify and share your digital space

Take a few moments to identify your digital space or how how you will connect as a group. It could be as simple as a phone call or any of the following platforms below. Once you’ve determined how you will meet online, communicate with your group the details of how, when, and how often you will gather virtually to pray. For your convenience, we’ve included links for each of the following platforms to download app and learn more about how to use them.

Disciple Internship Overview

Overview:

We bring the classroom and hands-on-training together so that each intern will be able to get both practical and inspirational training for the ministry.

Our Classes

At Disciple Internship, our goal is for every intern to graduate our program with a deeper knowledge and understanding of the Word of God, and how it can be applied to their life in a practical and functional way. We believe that, as disciples of Jesus, it’s vital that we understand how to study and dissect the Word of God in order to accurately walk out God’s plan for each of our lives. As we dive into various topics, we encourage questions, critical thinking, and healthy discussion, as we believe that this is a crucial part of the learning and growth process. Our desire is that each intern will graduate equipped to thrive in every area of their life!

Topcis that will be covered range from Hermeneutics & the Book of Romans to Communication 101 & Current Cultural Topics.

HOUSING

We currently do not offer any housing. However, if you are in need of housing, please reach out to us. We will make our interns aware of any housing opportunities we come across.

WORK

We encourage you to work while you are in Disciple Internship, so long as you are able to manage your time. It is important to us that our interns live a balanced life of work and rest. We realize that working on top of your internship schedule will likely leave you with a busy schedule, so our goal is to come alongside you and help you find rest and balance in the midst of it.

SCHEDULE

Your schedule is made up of two components— classes and roles. Our class schedule ranges from Monday to Thursday, 8:30 AM-12 PM. Many of our intern roles take place in the afternoon; however, your specific schedule will depend on what role you are enrolled in. Some of them may require you to be here some weeknights and weekends. Also, we have Instructor Groups. Instructor groups are a mentorship-focused group time with DI Instructors that meet at various times on Monday, and serve once during the week, on either a Wednesday evening or a Sunday morning. Please call us if you have any questions. We would love to work with you if there are any scheduling conflicts.

RETREAT

We kick off each internship year by going on a 4 day retreat. The purpose of the retreat is to grow closer together as we seek God together. This is achieved through doing team building activities, casting vision and setting goals for the upcoming year, and most importantly seeking the heart of God on an individual and corporate level.
