The name of the organization is changed to Prayer Transformation Ministries to better reflect a broader ministry of training and equipping churches and intercessors, as well as casting a vision for revival and transformation.

Prayer Transformation Ministries joins the Nehemiah Center in First Covenant Church, with a vision of partnering with other prayer and evangelism ministries for a common city- reaching purpose. PTM facilitates the building of offices and networking of ministries.
