WELCOME LETTER
Dear King’s House,
Welcome to the Burning Hearts School of Prayer. We are so glad you are here!
This school was born out of a simple conviction: prayer is not meant to be difficult,
distant, or reserved for a few—it is meant to be the daily breath of every believer. God is
not merely inviting us to learn about prayer, but to learn how to live in an ongoing
relationship with Him through it.
Over the next ten weeks, we are not chasing formulas, emotional hype, or religious
performance. We are pursuing intimacy, understanding, and endurance—learning how
to pray from identity, faith, love and the urgency of the hour.
This is a place to grow your prayer life slowly, honestly, and deeply. Whether prayer has
been a joy for you or a struggle, whether you feel confident or unsure, you belong here.
Our desire is that by the end of this school, prayer will no longer feel like something you
should do, but something you want to do—because you’ve discovered God waiting for
you there.
May the Lord awaken hunger, remove pressure, and teach us how to pray in a way that
it will cause our hearts to burn with love for Him.
With expectancy,
Pastor Rui
