ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: Jon Graf (from Harvest Prayer Ministries)

Jon has been involved in prayer ministry both in the local church and in the international prayer movement since 1995, serving in a number of capacities including the founding editor of “Pray!” magazine, the President of the Church Prayer Leaders Network, VP of Harvest Prayer Ministries, Director of Prayer Mobilization for the Christian & Missionary Alliance, Executive Committee of America's National Prayer Committee, Executive Committee of the Denominational Prayer Leaders Network, and author or compiler of five books.  Jon's passion beats for prayer and raising up more praying people in the local church. His speaking ministry primarily targets the average believer in the pews. He has a winsome style that seeks to motivate through encouragement rather than through guilt.
