National House of Prayer Leadership Summit

In 2022, the National Missions Base Co-op began hosting the National House of Prayer Leadership Summit. The last several years have been incredible times together making new friends, finding our common obstacles, and seeking the Lord together. We are living in a time where it is essential for us as leaders to grow relationally and to strengthen one another. As busy leaders in the prayer movement we face many unique challenges and far too often face them alone with limited resources. It’s easy to forget that we are not in this alone and that the Lord is the one raising up houses of prayer in cities all over America. We’d like to invite you to join leaders from across the nation for a much-needed time of refreshing, reenvisioning and relational connect. We’re excited to spend a few days talking about what Jesus is doing in this hour and explore ways that we can continue to strengthen one another.

This Leadership Summit is designed for the director and primary leadership teams of current or aspiring houses of prayer, praying churches, and missions bases. We desire to create an environment where as leaders with a common goal of building prayer first and doing mission from that place, that we can come together to learn from one another, encourage one another, and talk about where things are headed.
