"Start a School of Prayer focusing on different levels of intensive training."
The SFM School of Intensive Prayer was birthed from a command from the Lord Jesus to Dr Steven Francis in June of 2023.
On July 11th to 13th 2024, the first of the four intensive levels, was held at the Jesus My King campus in Shelby NC. 80 onsite students with 165 registered online students from 16 nations became the first fruits of this school commanded by the Lord Jesus.
Intentional, intensive prayer will birth this end-time season. At SIP, you will learn about the dynamics of prayer, intercession, travailing, spiritual warfare, overcoming challenges victoriously, and many more subjects. Join us at the next SIP!

"Ps Steven has made reference to many scriptures (the Word) and he also shared how God has worked in his own life as well as the other spiritual "giants" of the faith. Through this teaching, I have learned that how we live and apply the Word in our lives will impact the effectiveness of our prayers."
"The content is so helpful in providing an outline of biblical principles on prayer. I think the manual is an EXCELLENT resource and has a good balance of biblical theory/theology, Ps Steven's relevant experience, and engaging questions/tasks that allow us, as students, to actively participate in the study"
"The application that Pastor Francis gave throughout was inspirational and touched my heart. He made it very practical! He taught us with Wisdom and that removed wrong understanding and emphasized that God has grace on us all in our journey of prayer. I am very encouraged. Thank you VERY MUCH for this fantastic learning opportunity!"
"Excellent research in scripture and history with direction for entering into God's presence to hear His heart."
"Love the organization and that the manual follows the teachings. The content is extremely applicable in daily practice. It's so helpful to learn from an experienced intercessor."
"Pastor Steven taught very well on the fear of God but also the richness of His love."
"We can't get this type of valuable content from books. Prophet Steven integrated his 40 years of experience as a minister of God, his education, and his access to hearing from God directly into a full fledged course. The real life examples and the candid way of teaching are amongst the major strengths of this course."
"The content impressed on my spirit the necessity of an intercessor. I primarily enjoyed the quotes of the prayer giants that have gone before. This teaching helps access a new level of prayer with accuracy under the aid and direction of the Holy Spirit. It creates in me a hunger to dive further into the call for prayer. In a time where prayer is our hope for change not only in our lives but for the entire world, this class is a much appreciated necessity."
"I am feeling what it is like getting fresh oil after an oil change. Major Strengths for me has been really going “back to the basics” of the foundations of Intercessory Prayer. (Course highlights) the utmost necessity in being a fervent and effectual soldier for the Kingdom of God long-term, especially as the intensity of these end times continue to accelerate as wards the coming of the Lord Jesus."
