Recently we hosted over 1000 Chinese leaders from the underground church in China as well as our nation at our Converge Conference. They flew in from mainland China at their own expense because they believe that God wants the message of night and day prayer to go all over China. Many of them have watched […]
Sam’s chains were fastened around his soul from an early age like so many young men in the inner city. By 8 years old, Sam was shackled to a street gang, and the links only became longer and stronger as he grew up. Drugs, crime, and perversion were calling the shots. He was in and […]
Recently I (Theresa) have been reading the devotional book, “Quiet Talks on Prayer,” by S.D. Gordon. This little book has sparked fresh vision for the power and necessity of prayer.

On February 3rd at 6:21 pm, we rejoiced at Caleb’s birth. Caleb was 7lbs and nineteen inches long. We were relived this time to keep our original birth plan having Caleb in the water at a local birthing center with a midwife. We were able to go home just a few hours after his birth. […]
Lately, Jeremiah has enjoyed listening to a particular worship song, “Here’s My Heart” by David Crowder. He can’t get enough of it. We will put it on our TV in the living room and when it is over he often cries until we restart it. Some kids like watching cartoons but at this point those […]
Praying & Worshiping on 24th Street Every week, we are responsible for leading two of our all staff two-hour prayer meetings at Hope City.
