| The vision of the College of Prayer was birthed in the heart of Armin Gesswein in 1931 while pastoring a church in Long Island, New York. When the Holy Spirit brought revival to his congregation, God called him into the ministry of revival prayer. This burden led Armin to be involved in the great revival in Norway and has been a catalyst for revival prayer for almost seven decades. David Bryant refers to Armin Gesswein as 'Senior Statesman of the Prayer Movement.' God has used Prayer Summits throughout North America and the world to place a passion for revival within the hearts of Christian leaders. |
