We hosted our sixth Tower of Prayer in February with the focus of pursuing in prayer the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit. You will find more information below about our heart for this particular Tower of Prayer. We had 37 people from 12 different countries coming together in prayer for this event. As this global prayer initiative continues to grow, we look forward to including more people and more countries. For learn more about the Tower of Prayer, click here.
Pastor Goran and friends in Pula for training at EPC Church What a delight to return to Croatia and spend time working once again with an incredible group of believers at EPC church in Rovinj. Like my visit last year, the people in their church demonstrated such appreciation and hunger for everything I (Clay) was teaching and preaching on. It was also encouraging to hear testimonies from my visit to Croatia and growth that's happened since then. Goran and Katarina, and a few other church members, remarked about how the church was different after I came last year. This year, we traveled [...]
Pastor Francisco and his wife Celani Just had a wonderful time of ministry and fellowship with some beautiful brothers and sisters in Costa Rica. I connected with Pastor Francisco and his son Andrés about 4 years ago at a conference and have stayed in touch. We have been talking about organizing a visit for over a year and finally worked things out. It was a pleasure teaching and preaching at their church: Trinity Methodist Church (La Trinidad Iglesia Metodista) in Quesada, which is in the county of San Carlos, north of San Jose. With my friend and translator Andrés Friday [...]
It was great to be back in Pawleys Island, SC again and have an opportunity to present Knowing God’s Voice at the church where I served as an assistant pastor for nearly 7 years. All Saints Church cohosted this event with another local church: The Abbey. Carla and I presented KGV to a very engaged and interested crowd of about 90 people Friday night and 80 people Saturday morning. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting that it exceeded their expectations. Pastors Rob and Allen from these 2 churches were also grateful and quite pleased with the training. People were engaged, taking [...]
I spent two days this June with a small, but truly devoted group of brothers and sisters in Christ at Bridport Church in Bridport, Vermont. Saturday morning, I presented a condensed version of Knowing God’s Voice and was delighted by people’s receptivity and feedback. Several people commented on how they wished they had this kind of training much earlier in their walk with Jesus. I know I wish I had, which is one of the reasons why we are so passionate about sharing this! Throughout this weekend conference, I enjoyed getting to know people’s stories and when prompted, sharing a word of encouragement as the [...]
I first heard about what was going on at Asbury University a few days after it started on Facebook. At that time, I honestly didn't think too much about it. Then I got a couple messages from friends asking if I had heard what was going on there. As I began reading about what people were experiencing, the Holy Spirit began squeezing my heart and stirring up a deep desire to go. I cancelled a few things on my schedule, and drove 8 hours down to Wilmore, KY not knowing what to expect. Well, it ended up being quite an adventure. My first [...]
This new year started with an incredible opportunity to pour into 38 ministry students in India who are attending Training Leadership College International based in southern India (January 30-February 3). I taught these eager and receptive young students through Zoom for about two hours each day. The first day, we talked about leadership from the perspective of the life of Moses, discussing some of the challenges you face as leaders, both in form of external opposition, but also our own internal struggles. The next four days, we went through our training on Knowing God’s Voice. The students [...]
Goats for Families and Motorcycle for Ministry Each year, Captivated International has a commitment to give 10% of its revenue to support other missions. In 2022, we partnered with a ministry based in Kathmandu that supports churches and missions throughout Nepal. Carla developed a relationship with this ministry in 2020 when she was there on a missions trip. This ministry was able to arrange the purchase of 36 goats, which were distributed to 36 families from three different churches in Nepal. Among those 36 families were the families of four pastors, who have been serving their local churches and communities. Pastor Habil, who facilitated [...]
Sharpening Our Curriculum This year, we spent a significant time continuing to develop, improve and add to our training and teaching curriculum on Knowing God’s Voice, healing ministry, gifts of the Spirit, healing of the heart, discipleship, and spiritual warfare. We want to continue to always improve on what we offer, thinking creatively about how to engage the whole person (heart, mind, and spirit) in everything we teach. Tower of Prayer - April and October 2022 This year, we were delighted to continue hosting our semi-annual Tower [...]
Written by Clay Millener, Executive Director Have you ever been encouraged to “keep your eyes on the prize?” Perhaps you heard this as you were going through a season when distractions and difficulties seemed to be constantly assaulting you on that path to the ultimate goal or reward you were pursuing. What are the “prizes” you are contending for in your life right now? A degree? A promotion? A romantic relationship? A championship of some sort? A year-end bonus? A dream vacation or big screen TV? It’s an important question because the promise of prize often enables us to press through the adversity. [...]
