Community of Prayer


Our Community has been marked by prayer from the beginning. We could have come into this ministry with an agenda in mind, or might have set up a whole structure of mission statements in an attempt to plan our work with the Lord. None of these things would have worked. Not really. What has worked and been at the heart of every movement God has made around us and in us is our time spent listening to him. Sometimes talking, but mostly surrendering to listen.

As time passed and ministry partners emerged to join us, it became apparent that a growth in the intimacy of our prayer life was required. Part of this was struggled over on a retreat the four of us had. In addition to deepening our communal prayer practices we decided to lift up some folks in leadership. Three girls specifically came to our hearts: Jessica, Emily and Joanna. In anticipation of the growth of prayer at our house we thought it fitting to remodel the designated prayer room.

With this accomplished we felt it would be easy to create a culture, not only for ourselves but for those who we love and minister with. In short, we have a vision for 24 hour prayer, and that requires a lot of help. We are really excited about the leadership emerging in the girls and the amazing job they did touching up our holy space. Enjoy the pictures! If you would like to join us in our daily prayer we start at 7:00 am and go till 7:45ish. Thank you for lifting us up and taking time to read about the Lord's work in our lives.


They picked really good colors, and placed candles very well. (everywhere)
Its a lot more comfortable in there too. Heaters/ Carpet!

The best part is the new window.

Blessings.
Peace and abundance.
And love, much love

Amen

NOTE: The Allelon prayer room is open 24/7, and you are always welcome to come pray. You don't have to knock or call ahead, just come and meet the LORD in the quiet place. 465 Cockerell Dr.
