Dr. Benny Beckum began Intercessor Ministries, Inc. in 2001. Having been taught the need for fervent praying during his wife's sickness and death, Dr. Beckum was given the burden and ministry of calling the local church back to genuine prayer. He conducts an average of fifty-one prayer revivals a year in local churches across America and Canada. His ministry has energized and revitalized the prayer lives of many pastors and congregations.
