Do Christians really need to be “taught” how to pray? Is prayer ministry (praying over another person in their presence) really any different from how we pray when we are alone?
Most believers assume that fluency in prayer ministry ought to be a natural outcome of our salvation experience.

Although it is certain that the Holy Spirit desires to equip us for effective prayer ministry, it is also true that there are certain basic skills that can be both learned and practiced as we seek to minister to others in hands-on prayer. These attainable skills can greatly contribute to our overall effectiveness in a prayer ministry which is interactive, immediate, personal, Spirit-led, contextual and specific.
