In the House Ministries exists to train, encourage and equip the body of Christ in the areas of prayer, worship, evangelism, prophetic, ministry to the poor, spiritual warfare and the creative arts. The Downtown House of Prayer is established to provide 24/7 worship and prayer for the city of Portland, Oregon. This blog is just for fun, but perhaps over time it will provide some insight and stimulate discussion surrounding the above areas.

A Shift In the House....May 7th

In September of 2005, the ministry of the Portland International House of Prayer entered a season of waiting. Over the past 18 months, many of our team members have spent long seasons walking through difficult trials and circumstances. At times the ministry has seemed a bit fragmented and people, for various reasons, have had to come and go. Through it all, however, God has remained faithful, and though seemingly silent at times, He has continued to direct our paths. Although we have moved between several locations during these months, corporate prayer has continued and the city has been blessed.

On Monday, May 7th, as the director of the Portland House of Prayer, I will share with those present what I believe is a major shift. Through many meetings with the board of directors, local church leaders and a small representative of house of prayer team members, as well as through much prayer and a searching of my own heart, I have reached a place of clearer direction and sense that a new season for this ministry is at hand.

Would you please make every effort to join us on May 7th? Anyone is welcome to come--those who have been involved over the years, as well as those who are just learning that a House of Prayer exists in Portland! We will begin with a short time of worship to help focus our hearts and then move immediately into sharing with you the vision, followed by a time for questions and prayer. My hope is that you will find this "shift" is not a new or strange thought, but rather simply a return to the beginning...a "re-envisioning", if you will.

The meeting will begin promptly at 7pm at Sylvan Hill Church. We will do our best to end no later than 9:30pm. Sylvan Hill Church is located on Humphrey Blvd, take the Sylvan Hill exit off of Hwy 26 and head south, take the first left and the church is on top of the hill!


Please contact me if you have any questions.
