About Trainer Workshops
In 1999, while Director of Pastoral Care at Unity Church of Phoenix, Rev.
Lei Lanni created the Prayer Chaplain Trainers Workshop inviting
other Ministries into bringing the Prayer Chaplain Program to their churches.
To date, 1144 have come through this training program taking it to 402 ministries
world-wide.
Through the establishment of a Prayer Chaplain Program, these ministries have experienced a rejuvenation of energy and transformation throughout their congregations. It is universally known throughout all ministries that lay people are hungry to be invited into their greatness.
This program allows them to express their divine potential while giving them deeper spiritual fulfillment. You too can create a ministry where people are empowered to pray with one another, recognizing God’s presence and power in every moment.
The Prayer Chaplain Trainers Workshop is designed for the individual or individuals within your ministry who will be training Prayer Chaplains and/or Coordinating the systems set-up to support the Program. This training program is designed to teach a specific skill set and core competencies including:
