Rediscovering Prayer: From Ritual to Relationship How have we reduced prayer to a structured, need-based practice shaped by tradition?

Rather than approaching God with our own agendas, we’re invited to align with His heart, asking what He [...]
The Fire in Beswick, Australia: A Vision Fulfilled. From a rainy afternoon in Perth, Neil reflects on his experience in Beswick, Australia—an encounter fulfilled 21 years after the vision.
