About Us · History · Staff · Board of Reference Dale
Schlafer By working with existing groups and organizations, especially with pastors and church leaders, the Center hopes to see the church of Jesus Christ come alive, bringing the greatest harvest of the lost in history. As Pastor Schlafer says: "When revival is the experience of the church, evangelism becomes the expression of the church. When evangelism is the expression of the church, a changed society will be the evidence of those changed lives." Prior to establishing the Center for World Revival and Awakening, Pastor Schlafer served with Promise Keepers as vice-president for revival and awakening (1996-1998), and vice-president of church relations (1994-1996). Initially, he served as chairman of the board at Promise Keepers from the ministry's inception to 1994. His love for the clergy and heart for men's ministries has found expression through Promise Keepers. Pastor Schlafer served for twenty-two years as senior pastor of South Fellowship in Littleton, Colorado, and six years as senior pastor in New Jersey. Dale was director for the "Clergy 96-Fan Into Flame" conference, an unprecedented gathering of 40,000 pastors held in Atlanta in February of 1996. He also served as the director of "Stand In The Gap-A Sacred Assembly of Men," which was held in Washington D. C. in October of 1997 and attended by 1.3 million men. Both of these events had revival and awakening at their very core. He was a contributing author for the books "Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper," "The Lighthouse Movement," "Effective Men's Ministry," and "Fighting On Your Knees," and has authored the book "A Revival Primer." Through his speaking and writing commitments, he conveys a real understanding of church life. He has substantial international experience, speaking and ministering on every continent except Australia. Over 450 members of his churches have participated in short term mission projects all over the world. Two churches have been planted, one being in Bombay, India. This world mindset has been passed on to thirty-eight men and women who entered full-time cross-cultural missionary service. Pastor Schlafer
committed his life to Christ at a very early age. His call to pastoral
ministry came in 1961. Pastor Schlafer, a native of Philadelphia,
holds a B. A. from Westminster College of Pennsylvania and a Masters
of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. Liz
Schlafer Prior to establishing the Center for World Revival and Awakening, Liz served alongside Dale with Promise Keepers (1991-1998). She helped to establish the prayer ministry within the organization and was responsible for conducting the intercessory prayer rooms for many years, at the various conferences. Her call to prayer has led her to be a part of many different intercessory prayer networks, and takes her all over the world to pray and to teach on prayer. Since there is no recorded instance of corporate revival occurring without sustained intercessory prayer, it is appropriate that Liz team with her husband in this ministry of revival. When they go to a city for ministry, Liz is often used to pull together people of prayer and to be a catalyst of bringing them together for ongoing prayer for their churches and city. In the past several years Liz has had the opportunity to work as a prayer consultant with local churches. She enjoys going into a local church situation, examining the place of prayer, and with the staff and prayer people of a local church, seeking from the Lord a prayer plan uniquely designed for that church. Before meeting and marrying Dale, Liz worked as registered nurse in Pittsburgh, attending both Ohio State University and the University of Pittsburgh. Copyright
