This book was born out of prayer. The Lord called a few of us aside to pray. Each night, we wrestled in prayer between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. This went on for many weeks. We came to find ourselves blessed, challenged, and purified. We came to see the Lord in a new way and to understand the purpose of our being in a totally new light.This book was also born out of an experience - an experience of obedience. Some of us were led to obey an obvious command of the Lord, which is clearly written in the Bible and which we had not yet obeyed. That obedience nearly cost us our lives. God honoured that obedience and caused it to lead to the ministries now associated with Christian Literature Centre, Yaounde. It also led to the birth of some assemblies which have, by God's grace, grown into praying communities.The truths charted in this book are coloured by what that local assembly has learnt as it tried, step by step, to follow the praying Lord in the School of Prayer. We have a commitment to prayer, fasting, and evangelism. We are learning and we are growing. Pray for us. Pray with us.We have come to discover that all things are possible to the praying saint and to the praying body of believers. By God's grace, we are determined to wipe out the word "impossible" from the life experience of the members of the assembly.Our hearts' desire is that all those who know the Lord Jesus will truly become people of prayer. So we send this book out with prayer that it will help some individuals and some local assemblies to make progress with the Lord in the "School of Prayer".To the Lord Jesus, the praying, supplicating and interceding Head of the Church be untold honour, glory, and majesty forever and ever.

The Holy art of importunate praying and intercession.The message in this book, Learning to Importune in Prayer was delivered to the saints by Dr. Z.T Fomum. We present it here entirely, with very little editing. It is an expression of the deep desire in the author's heart to have spiritual leaders who know the Holy art of importunate praying and intercession.Importunity, says Prof. Fomum, is the cry of a man in extreme danger. It is madly asking God to open a door through the wall of a situation-until the door is opened. Importunity has God's interest in view; it is taking no rest until God is moved to do that which He alone must do. He affirms thatwhen God gives you a number of problems to which man has no answers, then He has promoted you-He has given you materials for importunity praying.God's purposes in the New Covenant are tied to the Spirit-filled life. Christian service also starts with this quality of life. He reiterates his heart's cry to see the leader strive to be Spirit-filled and press on to attain to the fullness of the Holy Spirit.We send out this book with prayer that the Lord would use it to produce men and women of importunate praying-watchmen at the gates of Jerusalem.

This book The Centrality of Prayer is a compilation of messages given in Yaoundé in August 2007 by Professor Fomum within the framework of the World University Prayer and Fasting to over 2000 brethren of our work coming from Cameroon and many nations.This book which was written from notes taken as it was being preached without any editing from the author, expresses the burden which the Professor had to communicate to Christians workers the central place of prayer in any of God's workIt treats amongst others:The veil which prevents the unbelievers from coming to the salvation of Jesus Christ.The veil which prevents them from seeing the need of prayer.The responsibility of the leader to tear this veil by fasting and prayerThe responsibility of the body of Christ and the body of eldersPrayer that originates from the heart of God.etc.These messages are not theological debates on these themes but are words from heart to hearts .Hence they are very practical, and treats subjects like handling of the prayer book, etc, In addition, the contributions from many field leaders make this book a real inner history of our work and enables us to experience the atmosphere that prevailed during the course.We strongly recommend this book to the body of Christ entirely for the problems treated in it are similar and the proposed solutions are useful to all.May the Lord bless you abundantly as you read this book
