For our first five years, our primary focus was the relational classes developed by Equipping Ministries International: Listening for Heaven’s Sake, Speaking the Truth in Love, Renewing the Mind, and Confronting Conflict. And Theophostic Prayer Ministry. We offered the EMI classes, often several at a time, several times a year. We also began training lay people in Theophostic Prayer ministry in November of 2005. We took groups from Church of the Apostles to Theophostic training events. First in Hampton, Virginia, then a year later in Chesapeake. The following year to Orlando. We hosted live Theophostic training at Apostles. Then invited Ed Smith to return and supervise us as facilitators. We held video training for Theophostic Prayer Ministry (TPM). We soon had a team of 20 commissioned TPM facilitators offering weekly appointments in pairs. The TPM team also met together monthly for further training and development.
