God’s dream is that His House would be a ‘House of Prayer for all People’ ! The Forest Lake Church hosts House of Prayer Experience (H.o.P.E) every Wednesday at 7PM. From the time we have begun meeting in a small classroom to its current space since 2007, we have seen God calling His people to prayer. Every Wednesday, H.o.P.E becomes a place for a God encounter for many. We pray that many more House of Prayer Experiences will begin to rise up all over the US and the rest of the world. Here are weekly stories of H.o.P.E that remind us that God is at work in our lives and everywhere!

Finding room inside the House of Prayer

March 17, 2010



Joseph came to H.o.P.E at the invitation of his coworker, Ruban one wintery (as wintery as it is possible to get in Florida!) Wednesday of last year. He describes how warm his heart became in the presence of God and in the company of people who love Jesus. He has been coming to the prayer meeting ever since that night. He has also begun attending the weekend worship services at the church. Joseph is already a Christian dedicated to Jesus, but he has been thirsting for more.

Joseph shared how delighted he is to be part of a House of Prayer "that is open for... everyone!", he added quite enthusiastically. He feels at home at H.o.P.E!

He added his prayers to Ruthie and Don's as he asked God out loud to protect and guide Dr. Morris who is schedule to leave for Africa. Dr. Morris will be encouraging and training a group of pastors and ministry leaders over there. Please continue to keep him and our African brothers and sisters in your prayers.

Have a wonderful week, and as the Lord inspires in you the name of someone who needs to come to the House of Prayer next Wednesday, bring him or her along!

If you are out of town, you may join us on April 7 via

Praying for our joy ...and hope for the journey:)
