For the best educational experience, course readings should be paired with lesson readings. As with all courses at MDHI, the online version of The Practice and Power of Prayer can be a stand-alone class or can augment the in-person version. Most in-person classes are given from 1830-1930 (6:30 to 7:30 PM) on Wednesday nights at Memorial Baptist Church (MBC) in Beckley, WV. Dozens of students have taken the in-person version of many classes at MDHI.
