Hope Houses of Prayer

The vision for Hope Houses of Prayer was birthed from the Prayer Movement that was founded in Kansas City in 1999 by Mike Bickle.

The initial House of Prayer Movement began as a community of believers committed to establishing and maintaining a 24/7 night and day prayer in cities all over the earth.

It is a prophetic movement that is modeled after the Tabernacle of David. King David took the ark of the covenant out of the Most Holy Place and put it in a tent or tabernacle. He then organized and paid 4,000 musicians and 288 singers to worship God night and day (1 Chr. 23:1–25:31).

Some say this movement is the fulfillment of the restoration of the Tabernacle of David spoken of in Amos 9:11 and Acts 15:15-17.

 is an evangelical missions organization that is committed to praying for the release of the fullness of God’s power and purpose, as we actively win the lost, heal the sick, feed the poor, make disciples, and impact every sphere of society—family, education, government, economy, arts, media, religion, etc. Our vision is to work in relationship with the wider Body of Christ to engage in the Great Commission, as we seek to walk out the two great commandments to love God and people.

We are committed to prayer, fasting, the Great Commission, and to living as forerunners, spiritually preparing for the unique dynamics of the end times. The work of our ministry includes equipping and sending out missionaries as dedicated intercessors and evangelists who work to see revival within the Church and a harvest among those searching for God. We take seriously the mandate to train believers to love Jesus and others wholeheartedly, as together we go forth to preach the Word, heal the sick, serve the poor, plant houses of prayer, and proclaim the return of Jesus across the earth.

The heart of our missions base is night-and-day prayer with worship. Two figures from the Bible who inspire us in this are Anna, one of the first evangelists and intercessors in the New Testament, who prayed and fasted for over sixty years before Jesus’ first coming (Lk. 2:37), and King David, who organized and paid 4,000 musicians and 288 singers to worship God night and day (1 Chr. 23:1–25:31).
