You can bless your church and community by hosting one of these seminars at very little cost to your church! Here’s how:

1. Prayerfully consider which seminar you wish to host at this time. Then...

General Arrangements:

1. No fee is set. We only ask that you cover the speaker's travel and lodging, and take up a love offering for him. Some churches set a registration fee of $20 per person, or $25 per couple (this includes one or two seminar guides which we call "LEARN notebooks"). This covers seminar costs, including travel, advertising, seminar guides, etc. Then an offering is taken up for the speaker. Rev. Virkler's salary comes from these seminars.
2. Many of these seminars are designed as weekend seminars, going from Friday evening to Saturday evening.
3. Often Mark is available to speak on Sunday morning, as a further ministry to your body, and offering the church another avenue for offsetting the seminar costs.
4. Weekend airline super-savers keep travel costs around $300 - $450.
5. Rev. Virkler requests that he stay in the home of a pastor or church member rather than a hotel.

Available Seminars

How to Hear God's Voice

(Formerly titled Communion With God.) This is our most popular seminar, being requested more than all of our other seminars combined. This experiential seminar is the most down-to-earth, practical training available today teaching people how to clearly and continuously discern the voice of God within their hearts. Biblical techniques of vision and journaling are combined to help you discern and clarify the spontaneous thoughts that come from God. The goal is that you commune (converse) with God through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Individual journaling and small and large group sharing will be ongoing activities of the seminar. Sessions include: Four Keys to Hearing God’s Voice; Going Beyond Reason to Revelation; What God's Voice Sounds Like; How to Instantly Remove All Idols from Your Heart; How to Effortlessly Still Your Mind; How to Receive Visions from God; Two-way Journaling—Writing Down What God Is Saying to You. This seminar will bring all participants into an entirely new way of living as they learn how to live out of the still, small voice of God within them. 

Seminar Materials: "LEARN 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice notebook" by Mark and Patti Virkler. Seminar length: 8½ hours. It is required that pastors follow up this seminar with the three-month Communion With God course. (What you shepherd you get more of and it is better quality. What you don’t shepherd and care for becomes weak and sickly and may lose its way.) Teacher’s guide, CDs, DVDs and main 300-page book are available. We will typeset a color brochure for you and print and mail it to you for distribution.

Counseled By God 

Many books have been written on how to heal the common life problems of fear, guilt, anger, inferiority and depression. However, none teach how hearing a freshly spoken rhema word from God within your heart can heal these. In this unique seminar, participants will not only learn how to hear rhema but they will actually journal throughout the weekend experiencing the power of the voice of God to heal problems in these areas of their lives. Sessions include: The Pure in Heart Shall See God; Moving From Fear to Faith; Moving From Guilt to Hope; Moving From Anger to Love; Moving From Inferiority to Identity in Christ; The Cross - The Center of Christian Growth; Healing Depression; Maintaining a Pure Heart by Seeing God in All.

Seminar Materials: Counseled By God by Mark and Patti Virkler. Seminar length: 6 - 8½ hours. Seminar should be followed up with the three-month Counseled By God course. Textbook, workbook, teacher’s guide, CDs and videos are available.

Christian Dream Interpretation

God declares that "if there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, shall make myself known to him in a vision. I shall speak with him in a dream" (Num. 12:6). God is still speaking to mankind through the dream today. We will learn how to interpret the language of symbolism in the dream and thus, how to unravel their messages to us. We will discuss the voice of God in the dream, the validity of the dream, the setting, purpose and response to the dream, the importance of the journal, people and animals in dreams, objective and subjective dreams, the dream as a great problem-solver, dreams and counseling, laws of interpretation, and dreams and visions at the birth of Christ. 

Seminar Materials: Hear God Through Your Dreams by Mark and Patti Virkler. Seminar length: 3-5 hours. Seminar should be followed up by the three-month Christian Dream Interpretation course. Textbook, workbook, CDs and DVDs are available.

Prayers That Heal the Heart 

The "Prayers That Heal the Heart" seminar takes the participant through seven specific prayers, unraveling seven contributing "strands" which feed a wound in one’s heart. A heart wound may be a negative emotion or a persistent sin problem such as anger, fear, guilt, or abandonment.

The seven prayers you will pray during the seminar are:

1. Breaking generational sins and curses;
2. Severing ungodly soul ties;
3. Replacing negative beliefs;
4. Renouncing inner vows;
5. Receiving divine visions;
6. Breaking word curses;
7. Casting out demons.

The seminar also teaches how to complete a "Biblical Meditation" in the area of the heart wounding, thus solidifying the gains you have made (Josh. 1:8).

Unique aspects of this Prayer Ministry Counseling Approach

	The prayer seminar guides you through one heart issue helping you discover and break all the strands to that one particular issue.
	The language of the heart is defined biblically as "spontaneous thoughts, pictures, and emotions." When healing the heart, one must use the language of the heart. You are taught specifically how to do this.
	The final session will be prayer ministry time where trained counselors minister to small groups of three people. Our goal is that everyone who desires it will receive ministry and healing for one heart wound.

Seminar Materials: "LEARN Prayers That Heal the Heart notebook" by Mark Virkler. Seminar length: 8½ hours. Seminar must be followed up with three-month Prayers That Heal the Heart course built around the book by that title. CDs and DVDs of the seminar are available. We will typeset a color brochure for you and print and mail it to you for distribution. Simply e-mail (info@cluonline.com) or fax (716-685-3908) this completed brochure back to CWG Ministries with the personalized information for your church in it, and let us know how many you would like. We will provide you with as many as you would like at no cost. We only request that you distribute all brochures that we print for you. Phone: 800-466-6961.

Naturally Supernatural

Abiding is a way of living as we walk Spirit-sensitive, experiencing the flow of the Holy Spirit at all times. Living naturally supernatural releases the flow of divine power within one’s life, while at the same time releasing him from religiosity, striving and self-effort. This seminar will train participants in that reality, helping them learn how to live sensitive to the flow of the Spirit within them. We will seek to deepen the revelation of our union with Christ (I Cor. 6:17), how we can live centered down in that union, how this sensitivity can be maintained throughout the day, and how Christ’s indwelling presence can be released through us.
