The prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "Answer me, O Lord, answer me, so that these people will know that You, O Lord, are God, and that You are turning their hearts back [to You] again." Then the fire of the Lord fell. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The Lord - He is God! The Lord - He is God!"
[1 Kings 18: 36-39 NIV (abridged)]


Welcome to

a Prayer Conference
to be held in the
 Orkney Islands
from Friday April 4th to Tuesday April 8th 2008


What is it for?

  • An opportunity to develop a closer relationship with God by discovering the joy of prayer
  • A conference geared for the equipping and growth of local Christians but also welcoming neighbours from the Scottish mainland and adjacent island groups
  • An occasion to include the whole of the local Christian community through conference style teaching and fellowship
  • A way in which to reach and encourage Christians in remote or isolated areas and involve them as partners in prayer
It is hoped that the conference will enable folk:
  • to seek God, with all their heart, for the plan He has for them
  • to receive inspirational Bible teaching
  • to unite and encourage prayer for where they live
  • to forge links within and between island groups
  • to learn from our neighbours’ experiences and testimonies
  • to respond in praise and worship to God
  • to release the giftings God has given His people for His service
  • to be equipped and have a vision for service

What is it?

The conference takes the form of:

  • Seminars featuring Keynote speakers
  • Workshops full of practical guidance
  • Variety of opportunities to develop prayer lives and experiences
  • Optional excursions to view the Islands

  • has an interest in prayer
  • wants to develop their prayer life
  • would like to learn from others
