TPR Leadership
Senior Staff Members
Brad and his wife, Amy, have three children and reside in Arlington. As the director, Brad teaches, helps cast vision for night-and-day prayer, and works closely with the Senior Staff (TPR’s Leadership Team) to run the various aspects of our base and mandates. In September 2005 the Lord spoke to Brad to “start a daily prayer meeting tomorrow morning at 5 a.m. and don't stop until I come back.” In response, he rallied a group of his friends to begin corporate prayer meetings the very next morning and has been doing 5 a.m. prayer seven days a week since that day. He has a vision to see tens of thousands of believers in the DFW region meeting daily in corporate prayer expressions all over the city praying for revival and preparing for Jesus’ return.

Christi moved to Arlington in 2020 to join Senior Staff at The Prayer Room Missions Base. She heads the finance department and serves in the prayer room in various roles, including worship leading and prayer leading.

Tyler was born and raised in upstate New York to a Christian family. Before Tyler ever knew about the prayer movement, he was so hungry to encounter God that, at the age of 16, he started doing daily prayer and worship in his bedroom one hour a day for years. Eventually he discovered the International House of Prayer in Kansas City and after graduating high school, he enrolled in their four year music college. The music school sent Tyler to teach at The Prayer Room‘s Missions Base in 2019. After he graduated, he moved down here to work for TPR full-time. After serving TPR for a number of years, Tyler has been given the opportunity to jump into Senior Staff as the Worship Director. Tyler has a longing to see Jesus glorified 24/7 and see revival touch Dallas-Fort Worth.
