The Prayer Room's Story

After holding daily corporate prayer meetings since September of 2005, our missions base has grown from just a handful of people in my living room into a thriving community with night and day prayer at its center. Our prayer room now runs 22 hours a day 7 days a week with live worship and is kept running by dozens of volunteers about 40 staff. People come to our prayer room from about 100 different churches across the region and we offer a part time training school we call the Forerunner Equipping Center.  Things have grown!

We feel a strong calling to help equip other leaders of houses of prayer across the nation in their journey toward establishing and strengthening a culture of prayer in any way that we can. In an effort to accomplish this goal, we have tried to develop resources that fill a need within the prayer movement. These vary from free downloadable docs and audio series to short term training programs at our base to onsite consulting and conferences where we come to you.  It is our hope that some of these resources will be useful to you as you seek to build the Lord's house in your local context. Even if none of these prove helpful, we are still very glad to be in relationship with you as fellow laborers in the prayer movement.

We want to do everything that we can to help build and strengthen His house of prayer so please let us know if there is anything that we can do to try and serve you, your team or your community.


Until He comes,

Brad Stroup

Director of The Prayer Room Missions Base

HOW TO BUILD THE HOUSE OF PRAYER HANDBOOK

In our journey we often found ourselves coming up short, always operating with little money, limited human resources and no one to get answers from as we reinvented answers to problems that nobody really understood. This handbook represents seven plus years of hard learned lessons of trying to build a house of prayer from the ground up. The 14 sessions lay out practical steps we’ve learned of how to establish and maintain a house of prayer with limited resources and influence. I was surprised at how great of a joy it was to write this handbook; I was motivated by the hope that I could save people many headaches by simply providing ideas that had been proven to work at least once. I pray this will become a helpful resource to many who embark to pioneer houses of prayer in the coming years.
