Jonathan & Theresa Baldwin
Laboring for every nation to hear the love of Christ
After much prayer and the leading of the Holy Spirit, our family has decided to transition back to the Global Prayer Room from Hope City. We are really sad to be leaving our family that we have served with for the past five years in the inner city. During three weeks when Hope City and […]
Some believers lately, because of the pressure of this particular election cycle to justify their departure from wickedness within the Republican party, have said the Bible does not condemn abortion. Since the Lord touched my heart deeply so many years ago (and has continued to), I want to bring the Church back to the Word […]
We have never had such an open window for the overturning of Roe vs. Wade and the returning of abortion laws to the states as we do right now! A few months ago, I (Jonathan) had to give you the disappointing news that the Supreme Court ruled against Louisiana’s law to limit abortion in their […]
Jonathan has had a lot of opportunities to lead worship at the main campus of the International House of Prayer. Because some of these prayer meetings have been later in the evening, the boys and I (Theresa) have stayed home watching “daddy” on tv in our pj’s or as we are getting ready for bed. […]
During this crisis, my wife and I have been challenged by the simplicity of our job to pray for our nation. At the beginning of all of this, only the worship team was able to be in the prayer room and Theresa and I were stuck at home praying with three screaming boys three years […]
Feeding the Poor at Hope City Despite our community not being able to come into the building, we have been able to distribute groceries to over 700 families at Hope City’s door every week! While wearing masks and gloves, we have been placing groceries into the hands of our community, as well as handing out […]
Last week, we received a text from the nursing home with this sign. They have now closed down the nursing home from any visitors including ministers. Please pray for the elderly during this difficult time as they are isolated from their families and from our weekly prayer and worship time we bring to them every […]
On March 4th, the Supreme Court is deciding on a Louisiana law requiring doctors to have admitting privileges at hospitals. This law would provide an easy transfer should something go wrong in the abortion. Texas put forward a similar law several years ago. It closed down 60% of the clinics in the state until the […]
I (Theresa) first met Brittney a few years ago. We were both pregnant at the time she came to do our trade off program, TOP, at Hope City. Due to unstable housing, drug abuse, and domestic violence her children were in the care of the state. As she started working with an advocate to help […]
When you give yourself to prayer you are a part of an eternal, unbroken, global prayer meeting. This prayer meeting is bigger than we are. It will bring about the very return of our Lord bringing justice to every nation and will break every chains of the oppressed.
