Friday morning class.

It was during the Friday classes, held at the Goure's home, that Jim formulated the Seven Steps to Effective Prayer.  He had held these concepts in his heart for a long time.  He would go over just one line per class in order to impress the concept into the hearts and minds of the people. 

 

Many people recognized the value of Jim's teachings.  In 1976, Jim and Diana formed United Research, Inc., to provide a vehicle for the receipt of donations toward education in prayer and the building and maintenance of the Light Center.

Thus, the United Research Light Center, a beautiful two-story, white geodesic dome - designed by an architect from ideas received in prayer - came to be a reality.  It opened in 1979 with a dedication ceremony.  Since then thousands of people have come from all over the world to pray there.

In addition, since 1982, United Research has sponsored prayer missions to some fifty nations on five continents.

 

 

 

United Research provides a nondenominational supportive environment for encouraging personal and planetary transformation through prayer. We are dedicated to helping all people expand awareness of their inner Light and to pray more effectively. Our site offers instruction in the use of Effective Prayer, a Calendar of upcoming Events (including programs and speakers), and  World Prayer Missions.  You may also purchase materials through our bookstore (special orders are available) or reserve space in the UR Lodge for your own personal retreat.

The Light Center's spiritual mission requires physical, mental, and spiritual support.  Help us light up the world with your enthusiasm, energy, skills and prayers.  Your time and efforts are welcome.
