The Encounter

Pushing past the concerns of this earthly life fills us with the meaning and joy that we desperately crave. Attempts to find our purpose or confront spiritual emptiness will fall short outside of communion with the One who created us in His image. There is no substitute for an energizing relationship with God.

A consistent, disciplined prayer life energizes our relationship with God and restores our weary spirits.

Prayer is a human need.

That’s why Faithtree Resources has created The Encounter. The Encounter invites Christians into a daily habit of prayer- our app teaches us how to pray since worship is both an art and a skill. Many of us don’t know where to start, so we created The Encounter to help.

This project was born from the inspirational prayer fellowship of The Common Prayer Discipline of St. Philip the Evangelist. The Encounter helps to facilitate morning, noonday, and evening prayers so that they become a regular part of our daily lives.
