New - Video Teaching Series - Growing In Prayer (6 sessions)

These videos should be viewed in sequence - this is because the interior journey of prayer itself normally follows a sequence. Please note that these "streaming videos" require high-speed internet connections to play properly. Also, in these videos, written text may be difficult to read, but it is explained in the presentation. Please bear with the present video quality; we hope to improve the video quality in the future.
