The Global Prayer Movement

 A Sign of the Times

Over the past two decades, the Holy Spirit has been emphasizing a global prayer movement across the Earth. These unique expressions are focused on exalting Jesus 24/7 through night-and-day prayer and worship. In this short period of time, tens of thousands of prayer rooms have risen up and they are scattered across nearly every nation on the planet. This is incredible and it is a dramatic sign of what God is doing in our generation!

 

A Modern Priesthood

Our prayer room — like many of the ones just mentioned — has been designed to reflect the worship ministry that King David established back in his day (1 Chronicles 9:33; 22–24). These prayer rooms are places where we worship the Lord and intercede for the world around us in a continual way. These are more than just prayer ministries — they are modern-day priesthoods dedicated to ministering to God day and night.

Our Part to Play

Our prayer room is open to the public 22 hours a day, seven days a week with live worship and all are welcome. We have divided up each day into 11 two-hour prayer sessions that all have a worship leader, if not a full team, leading the room at all times. This creates an enjoyable, consistent environment to pray and encounter the Lord in.

When You Visit

All are welcome to come and go freely or to stay in the prayer room as long as you like. While in the prayer room, feel free to join in with the corporate worship and prayer, read your Bible, study a favorite commentary, write in your journal, or engage in private prayer. You may sit, stand, or pace up and down the aisles, we just ask that whatever you do, please try to honor any other people in the room.

If you have any questions while visiting, please do not hesitate to ask an usher (wearing a yellow vest). Come check us out! We pray the Lord will minister to you during your visit!

 

National and Global Prayer Initiatives:

 

OneCry is a nationwide call for spiritual awakening, a cry to the Lord to manifest His glory and work with extraordinary power. In recognition that we need an outpouring of the Holy Spirit we are calling for the Church to fall to our knees and cry out to the Father for help. OneCry is a call to the Church to pray, to seek God's face, and to turn away from sin, compromise, and complacency.

 

TheCall is a massive united solemn assembly. In times of national crisis, the Lord called Israel to corporate gatherings of prayer, fasting, worship, and repentance. TheCall is a response to the urgent summons in Joel 2:15-18, “Declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly, bring together the elders, gather the children.” These large corporate gatherings began in 2000 with over 400,000 gathering on the White House lawn to prayer and fast.

 

24-7 Prayer is an international, interdenominational movement of prayer, mission and justice that began with student-led prayer vigil in Chichester, England in 1999 and has now spread into 100+ nations.  For more than a decade the global 24-7 Prayer meeting has continued unbroken, impacting locations as diverse as the US Naval Academy, a German punk festival, war-zones and underground churches, the slums of Delhi, the jungles of Papua New Guinea and ancient English cathedrals.

 

Every year the Global Day of Prayer unites 10’s of millions of believers in Jesus together in prayer.  Christians from all over the world, from different cultures and denominations, from many diverse streams will gather in their homes, or where appropriate, assemble in stadiums, public auditoriums and open squares and many will devote portions of their Sunday morning service to unite in prayer for a move of God in the Earth.

 

The National Day of Prayer was established as an annual event in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.  The observance of the National Day of Prayer is founded on the constitutional rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion and can be celebrated by all Americans.  It has been carried on by many believers and leaders across the nation with a focus on assembling on the National Day of Prayer for a historic breakthrough of God on our nation.

 

The National Missions Base Co-Op is an organic, relational, non-governmental national coalition of some of the more established house of prayer missions bases across the US.  Their purpose is to connect with and nurture friendships among like-minded leaders of established missions bases in the prayer movement in America in order to draw strength from and resource one another to better serve their regions.
