Over the past 12 years, Chris and Susan have been mentored by Bob and Nina Lyon, a 90-year-old couple who have been living the lives of contemplative prayer for the past 60 years. When Bob and Nina were ordained in 1938, they received a prophetic word that the last years of their life would be the most fruitful, because they would impart the message of waiting on the Lord and fellowshipping with the Indwelling Christ to the next generation.

Chris and Susan long to see a generation pursue the fullness of God through union with Christ. Their contemplative prayer retreats focus on the lost art of communing with the internal reality of Christ Within. Chris received his MA Theology from Fuller Seminary.

"Chris and Susan Berglund are passionate about prayer and growing in intimacy with the Indwelling Christ. Chris has been teaching on contemplative prayer for the past 5 years at Grace Training Center and now at the Forerunner School of Prayer, under my leadership. I wholeheartedly recommend them to you and believe they will inspire and lead you into a deeper relationship with the Lord."

"It is a great delight to commend the ministry of our friends Chris and Susan Berglund, for such an hour as this. We have had the pleasure of walking with them over the last decade and have observed their personal lives; their walk of humility into the presence of Christ, and their deep growing hunger to share with others that same fragrance that has captured their souls. If you want to know His presence, then we urge you to receive the gift of Jesus through His clay vessels, Chris and Susan."
