Prayer Sessions - Serenity Retreat offers a unique and specific type of prayer called Transformation Prayer Ministry (TPM). Prayer appointments can be made by anyone and are offered to the public at no cost. TPM can help anyone, including those suffering from emotional issues, the effects of abuse, depression, and addiction. For 24 years, Serenity Retreat has offered over 1,000 donation-based prayer sessions and several training classes in the TPM method every year. Continued on Schedule O.Of those who are transformed by sessions at Serenity Retreat, 70% no longer feel hopeless, 78% no longer feel overwhelming panic or fear, 58% are able to stop an addictive behavior or substance abuse, 60% have fewer problems caused by anger at work or school, and 75% notice new success in relationships. Sessions are held in person in several locations around Houston, online, or at our Retreat Center west of Houston.
Transformative Prayer Ministry (TPM) Training - Serenity Retreat offers TPM training in three formats to the public (Basic Seminar, Transformation Group and Transformation School) and continuing education and training for active prayer ministers (Serenity Live, Filling Station and Truth Camp). The personalized TPM classes are led by experienced TPM Mentors who are considered experts in this field. The hope for this ministry is to equip people to encounter God and receive His truth by teaching them a safe, proven way to discover the root of what's driving them, resulting in transformed hearts and minds.
