Transitioning to a Day Schedule 2015 Year End Report We are celebrating twelve years for Jonathan and seven years for Theresa of serving Jesus by praying through the night. After praying and talking to our leaders this past year, we have decided to transition our schedule to praying during the day. It has been an […]
This is my final ministry update to write alone because in four days, I will be getting married! Next month, you will receive an update from Jonathan & Theresa. I thought it would be good to use this “final” update to reflect upon the past 9½ years of ministry. Fighting Abortion In 2004, I joined […]
In June of this year, I moved with my thirteen other classmates to inner city Kansas City to learn about justice and pioneer IHOP’s new prayer room and outreach center, Hope City.

On this journey, we stopped in Cincinnati, […]

Many young adult’s lives are changed every three months as they go through our Fire in the Night Internship. These young adults are immersed in the prayer room six hours a night, six days a week.

Seven years ago, September 19th, 1999, the International House of Prayer began a prayer meeting that has never stopped.
