Volunteer: Prayer Team

Prayer is fundamental to the Christian Walk and vital to Keswick Ministries. God has used the Keswick Convention for 150 years to prompt believers to new areas of service, or to a deeper grasp of His grace and mercy for them. It is a privilege to be able to pray with believers as they respond to God’s challenge and is integral to the purpose and vision of Keswick Ministries.

The role of the Prayer Team is to support the Prayer Team Leader at Keswick Convention by being an active member of the team. You will be available to pray with conventioners after the Morning Bible Reading and Evening Celebrations.
