HCI History, Part 4: Shifts

And Theophostic Prayer Ministry. We offered the EMI classes, often several at a time, several times a year. We also began training lay people in Theophostic Prayer ministry in November of 2005. We took groups from Church of the Apostles to Theophostic training events. First in Hampton, Virginia, then a year later in Chesapeake. The following year to Orlando. We hosted live Theophostic training at Apostles. Then invited Ed Smith to return and supervise us as facilitators. We held video training for Theophostic Prayer Ministry (TPM).
