✦ Simple Prayer Gatherings That Strengthen Homes, Churches, and Communities
Lighthouses of Prayer are simple prayer gatherings in homes, neighborhoods, churches, campuses, and communities that help strengthen worship, prayer, encouragement, and spiritual connection.
These smaller expressions of prayer can become places of worship, intercession, encouragement, hospitality, revival prayer, and spiritual support within local communities.
The Nations House of Prayer Equipping Center exists to help encourage and equip believers who desire to strengthen prayer in homes, neighborhoods, churches, cities, and nations.
✦ Why Lighthouses of Prayer?
Prayer does not have to begin with a large gathering, a building, or a complicated structure.
Many powerful prayer movements begin with a few people who gather faithfully to seek God, worship, pray Scripture, encourage one another, and intercede for their families, churches, neighborhoods, cities, and nations.
A Lighthouse of Prayer can become a simple place where God’s presence is welcomed, hearts are strengthened, and prayer becomes a consistent part of community life.
✦ Simple Expressions of Prayer
Lighthouses of Prayer may take many forms depending on the community, season, and calling. Some meet weekly in homes, some gather for worship and intercession, and others focus on prayer for neighborhoods, churches, cities, campuses, or nations.
