This Conference has two main sessions daily (Morning Session, 6:30am and Evening Session 4pm). There will also be a break-out session (9am daily) to activate people God is sending to the eight spheres of influence of modern society. These spheres of influence are:

Spiritual/Social
Politics/Government
Business/Economy
Education
Media
Sports
Science & Technology
Culture & Entertainment

We believe that everyone craves a purpose-filled life and each person’s unique purpose contributes to advancing the Kingdom of God. No matter where you are today or what you have been through in life, God is not through or finished with your story. Some of the greatest people in Scriptures were powerfully used by God when everyone had written them off, maybe because they were too young, too damaged, or too old. God was not finished with them and neither is He finished with you. There is a reason why you showed up in history during this season of your life. This breakout session will reveal people’s identity and purpose which will ignite passion in them.

This year's Cure for Desert Places will run from 2nd of October to 8th of October featuring Worship, Word and Prophetic Sessions. two sessions daily and breakout sessions between those in entertainment, business, sports, ministry, politics, media, and technology industry.

Venue: Uyi Grand Event Centre, off Osagiede, off Adesuwa Road, Benin City.
