Our Servant Leaders

As servant-leaders of Greater Philadelphia Renewal Ministries, we believe God has called us to faithfully steward the Pastors' Prayer Summit movement. We are bound by God to a distinctive vision: to seek greater intimacy with Christ and a visitation by the Spirit of God upon His people.

Paul Chaya Paul has served as a pastor for 30 years, 21 years in North Philadelphia and 9 years in Downingtown, a western suburb of Philadelphia, PA. He currently serves as Senior Pastor of Windsor Baptist Church. Paul served as chairman of the prayer committee of the 1992 Greater Philadelphia Billy Graham Crusade. It was then that he was introduced to Pastors' Prayer Summits through Dr. Joe Aldrich from Multnomah Bible College. In 1989, Dr. Joe and Terry Dirks began praying with pastors in the Pacific Northwest. From there Pastors' Prayer Summits were born and grew internationally. Paul and 10 other members of the 1992 Greater Philadelphia Billy Graham Crusade Executive committee attended a pastors' prayer summit at Cannon Beach, on the Oregon coast, in January 1992.

Deeply affected by the presence of the Lord, they brought the pastors' prayer summit to Philadelphia and to the east coast. The first Greater Philadelphia Pastors' Prayer Summit was held in May of 1992 at Harvey Cedars, NJ. Under the mentorship of the late Terry Dirks of International Renewal Ministries, Portland, OR, Paul became the prayer summit coordinator for Greater Philadelphia Renewal Ministries.
