The Ignite Prayer weekend is designed to equip and mobilize the local church in prayer in order to awaken, renew and revive the church for reaching the lost and transforming society. Ignite Prayer is specifically designed for maximum impact in the local church. Ignite Prayer is not a College of Prayer module.

Igniting Global Prayer (IGP) Seminars began as a ministry of the Alliance Pray! Team to assist local churches to form or strengthen prayer teams to pray for their Seamless Link relationships. Working with the Seamless Link Team, the Alliance Pray! Team designed an Igniting Global Prayer seminar to assist people to pray effectively for their International Workers and to motivate a Local Church team in their commitment to pray. The purpose of the seminar was “To enhance the shared ministry relationship between church families and International Workers." The goal was to strengthen the prayer relationship of the Local Church and our International Workers in the shared ministry of reaching Least Reached People Groups. IGP continued into 2014. Ignite Prayer and Unleashing Intercession Seminars were also used to train local church intercessors.
Seminars were held in 2014 in:
Toronto ON February 25
Ottawa ON February 27
Georgian Bay/Collingwood ON March 28-29
Winnipeg MB May 2-3
Saskatoon SK May 9-10
Regina SK May 13-14
Spruce Grove AB May 23-24
Eastern District, Toronto May 27-28
Eastern District, Ottawa May 30-31
Quebec (Fall 2014)
More than 330 people participated in these seminars prior to GA2014. Participants were very strongly encouraged to participate in intercession for General Assembly 2014, both together in the Prayer Room and separately across the country. The content resonated strongly with the participants, and we were encouraged to expand seminar offerings so others could benefit.
The Unleashing Intercession seminar was held in these churches:
May 2-3, 2014, Church of the Living Hope, Winnipeg MB, Dr. T.V. Thomas
May 9-10, 2014, Westgate Alliance Church, Saskatoon SK., Dr. T.V. Thomas
May 13-15, 2014, Living Hope Alliance, Regina SK., Rev. David Chotka
May 23-24, 2014, Spruce Grove Alliance, Spruce Grove AB, Dr. T.V. Thomas
May 28-29, 2014, Scarborough Chinese Alliance, Rev. David Chotka
May 30-31, 2014, Emmanuel Alliance Church, Nepean ON., Rev. David Chotka
The success of Unleashing Intercession encouraged the APT to run larger Regional Prayer Mobilization Conferences such as 2018’s Going Deeper, Empower Prayer Saturation with Dr. Daniel Henderson, President, Strategic Renewal
Sept. 30, 2017, Airdrie Alliance Church, and February 10, 2018, Bramalea Alliance Church.
