Ministers and Intercessors International Prayer Conference is
the largest annual intercessory banquet by Christ-Citadel
International Church (CIC).
Its objectives are varied although dominant ones are two(1) to
accord CIC leaders and intercessors worldwide an opportunity to
pray and intercede together and (2) to equip CIC leaders and
intercessors with deep and profound knowledge in prayer and
intercession.
The intercessory feast dates back to around 2000 when Godthrough
the Office of the Presiding Bishop, The Right Reverend Dr Joseph
Addo Ansahcommissioned the conference as a mandatory annual event
for CIC leaders and intercessors.
The conference, whose participants are mainly CIC pastors and
intercessors, pools together CIC leaders from all over the world
where CIC has its footprintsGhana, Togo, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Uganda,
Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, the UK and USA.
The first intercessory feast took place in Gaborone, Botswana,
in 2001 and the following year, it moved to Resthaven in Harare,
Zimbabwe. Resthaven has over the years become a lovely and
favourite haven for CIC intercessors because of its tranquility,
serenity, gorgeous surroundings, intercessory-friendly atmosphere
with adequate supporting infrastructure. It is also centrally
located making it easy to connect flights to and from any part of
the world.
The 2003 conference was scheduled to be held in Zimbabwe but due
to circumstances beyond CIC control, it was shifted to Lilongwe in
Malawi.Unlike the first two conferences, participants to the 2003
conference were called upon to form 24-Hour Prayer Watches.
The call came from the Holy Spirit on 22 September 2003 so that
CIC members are thoroughly equipped and prepared to thwart and
stand against end-time whims and wiles of Satan.
The call is much alive today as it was when it was first issued
12 years ago.The call was reiterated at the 2014 and 2015
conferences both of which were held at Resthaven in Harare,
Zimbabwe.
It is in the light of this that participants to such conferences
are also, among other things, expected to:
Understand clearly the Lords instruction regarding 24-hour
prayer watches.Be equipped and prepared to develop, train, assist
and monitor watchmen.Strategise how to develop and sustain 24-hour
prayer watches. Learn how to collect and compile data on the prayer
watches and accordingly submit reports to appropriate
authorities.Share experiences and enhance the spirit of unity and
single- mindedness among watchmen and all brethren.
The 2014 conference marked the revival of the event after it had
gone into doldrums for some years after the Kempton Park Conference
in 2010 due to financial constraints.
At the 2014 conference, God spoke in unequivocal terms that CIC
should go back to the basics and revive the annual intercessory
feast forthwith, hence the theme Return and Repositioning for
Restoration which has been running for years now.
The conference is here to stay, more so considering CIC was
birthed and thrives in prayer and intercession.
When all is said and done, CIC shall be called a House of Prayer
for all Nations and posterity shall look back and praise God for
men and women of valour who travailed on their knees hours on end
for CIC and nations of the world.

2015 Ministers and Intercessors Conference was held at Resthaven
in Harare, Zimbabwe from 13 to 19 April 2015. The participants to
the conference came from the US, UK, Ghana, South Africa, Lesotho,
Malawi and the host, Zimbabwe. The event, which started with
intercessory prayers on 13 April 2015, climaxed with anointing and
awarding of certificates of attendance to participants. During the
conference
punctuated by testimonies, prophesies and visionsthe power of
God was so immense and the teaching of the Word was so profound.
The participants parted ways with a hearty luncheon at Paulas
Restaurant in Harare. Surely, this conference will go down into the
annals of history of CIC as one of the most remarkable and
memorable events.
2015 Conference Highlights Through The Lens
First-timers experienceIntercessor Makamohelo Khobotio, South
AfricaI have learnt that as an intercessor I have to be humble,
holy and obey God all the time. When I go home, I will be stronger
than ever because I now know the principles of intercession. When I
go home, I will teach others about prayer and intercession.
Intercessor Liteboho Lichaba, LesothoI have learnt how to
establish and monitor 24-hour prayer watches. When I go back, I
will practise and teach others what I have learnt. I, would,
however, appreciate if we were given handouts on all the teachings
we have received.
Intercessor Mordecai Chimedza, ZimbabweIt has been a good
experience. Most of us want results but we are not interested in
the process that can produce those results. I have learnt to put
the Kingdom of God and His righteousness first, everything else
should come second. When I go back, I will spend more time in
fasting and prayer.
Minister Isaac Bingala, MalawiIt was a wonderful meeting. I have
no regrets being here. I have learnt that a leader should also lead
in intercession just as Jesus is our major intercessor. I have
learnt that God called us to intercede.

impart knowledge gained to others.
