A retreat for Leaders, recognised intercessors and worship team members
The Worship, Prayer & Fasting conference is, for many people, the highlight of their year! We share in three days of worship, prayer and seeking God together, and it is always deeply significant.
The Ichthus worship team will be leading us in a flow of prophetic and spontaneous worship that gives space for all to share and minister to Jesus with one heart and one voice, making space for prayer and intimacy with God for everyone at the conference.
This event is by invitation only. Please contact the office on (0)20 8694 7171, or email conferences@ichthus.org.uk if you are interested in coming.
Theme for 2025
Keep praying ‘Until He Comes’! This is the central theme for the Worship, Prayer and Fasting Conference in 2025. If you have ever been to this conference, you will know that the value and significance of these three days together is hard to overstate.
God is calling us to fix our eyes on His Kingdom vision, to be an expression of His Bride calling out “Come!” (Rev 22:17). How can we pray more effectively? How can we worship with more of His life in us? We need to fix our eyes on His coming: the fulfilment of all our worship, the answer to all our prayers and the satisfaction of the spiritual hunger for His presence.
Worship, Prayer and Fasting at the conference all blend together as we spend time together with God. Fasting from food together allows all our unbelief to drain away, fuelling our prayers with fresh faith and focussing our worship on Jesus, the glorious son of God.
This conference is for people who are:
- A Prayer Elder
- A recognised intercessor
- A worship leader or musician
- In training with Ichthus
Fasting at this conference is part of our shared worship together, so we recommend that if you come to this conference you have experience in fasting. However, if you are unable to fast for medical reasons then you are able to arrange to have meals at extra cost. Please speak to the office about this.
Ashburnham Place is the beautiful setting for our conference, and there is plenty of time in the program to spend time in God’s awe-inspiring creation and take a walk around the lakes.
