ANECDOTE

How A $50 Retreat Opened Central Asia

  • Paul Miller's ministry in Central Asia began from a small $50 retreat at his son's church and a chance conversation with a visiting pastor.
  • That meeting led to staff visits, faculty training, and a long-term unseen prayer groundwork that unlocked unexpected ministry opportunities.
INSIGHT

Spirit Center Prevents Prayer From Becoming Legalism

  • Prayer only avoids legalism when the Spirit is understood as the active center, not window dressing.
  • Without that Spirit-centered view, corporate prayer easily becomes a burdensome discipline rather than a living dependence.
ADVICE

Schedule Prayer As A Weekly Time Tithe

  • Structure regular corporate prayer: See Jesus holds three 45-minute staff prayer meetings weekly plus an hour per week for staff to pray for their work.
  • This amounts to roughly a 10% weekly time 'tithe' that anchors team dependence on God.
