Seven years ago, September 19th, 1999, the International House of Prayer began a prayer meeting that has never stopped. Inspired by the Tabernacle of David that ministered to the Lord “continually” (1 Chron. 16:37), we feel, in our day, “the fire on the altar” must not go out (Lev. 6:13). In this critical hour of […]
With so many possibilities these past two months to see the laws changed, we have focused much of our prayers on the ending of abortion. As many of you know, SD voters turned down a measure that would have ended abortion in their state. Though deeply disappointed with this outcome, I am resolved to keep […]
On May 7th, 1999, I gathered together a few singers, musicians and worship leaders to launch a prayer meeting in an old trailer. We affectionately referred to it as the “Bethlehem Stable” because we knew that God uses humble beginnings to birth things dear to His heart. By September 19th, 1999, the Lord had brought […]
Over 250 hearts were touched with the message of worship and prayer on this past ministry trip through East Texas. I ministered at five churches leading worship and preaching. During the trip, we also stood in silent prayer outside of Planned Parenthood in Lufkin, Texas. This “Silent Prayer Siege” was small but I know it […]

The Supreme Court will then decide most likely by October 12th whether they will take this important case. Doe v. Bolton, decided on […]
Last month on a short two-day solitude retreat in the Smoky Mountains, I looked upon the breathtaking landscapes that unfolded in front of me and my prayer to the Lord was, “Oh if these mountains are this glorious, how glorious must You be?” I began to contemplate that all of creation exists to shout of […]
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:37-38, ESV) Ever since I was 16 and I stepped on the foreign soil of Panama, I have had a belief and a […]
It is amazing to watch the Lord’s unfolding of this global prayer and worship movement. I am amazed as I watch new Houses of Prayer being raised up all over this nation: IHOP, Atlanta (now 24/7); The Justice House of Prayer (JHOP) in Washington, DC; The Zadok House of Prayer in Charlotte, NC (16 hours […]
