The Role of Prayer Team

Prayer Teamers serve a unique purpose in leadership and service to the ministry of Impact. Their primary function is to go before the Lord on behalf of Impact for the incoming class and usher in an attitude of prayer and thanksgiving for the entire staff of Impact. As a Prayer Teamer, you are privileged with leading counselors in weekly prayer for the incoming class. At Impact Retreat in August, Prayer Team is on a 24-hour rotation, praying without ceasing as we lift up the incoming class.
