Devotional Development

Prayer is a vital ingredient to spiritual health; therefore, the development of a vital prayer life demands much more than instruction. Prayer is a skill that must be learned by experience and practice. At EI, we have structured the schedule to provide multiple opportunities to develop a devotional life through prayer.

Time is allotted daily to allow students to be alone with the Lord in prayer and the Word. A combination of daily discipline and guidance from staff enables each student to discover and develop a quiet time that matches the individual’s needs and temperamental bents.

Prayer times are frequent and varied. Through prayer partners, small group prayer, days of prayer, corporate worship and prayer with the local church, we seek to give the Lord an opportunity to teach about prayer in all its multiple expressions.
