About the House of Prayer
Welcome to the North Devon House of Prayer. The prayer room in Barnstaple is open throughout the week to pray for a variety of topics from justice to missions and for individuals to come worship God and spend time with Him. The North Devon House of Prayer is a relaxed environment focused on worship and intimacy. We are linked relationally to a number of regional houses of prayer. If you would like to find out more please read below, follow us on social media and get in touch.
The North Devon House of Prayer was officially opened on the 9th January 2009 by Jed and Nicole, visiting missionaries from the US (Via Israel) .
As the journey unfolded they met a number of local Christians – one lady said “30 years ago God had told her to ask Him for a House of prayer” – it seemed her prayers were becoming a reality. The vision went on to be confirmed by a number of scriptures, prophecies and divine appointments.
In 2011 – Jed and Nicole left for pastures new and in August 2011, Jim, Mary, Jack, Rebekah, Abram and Carina took on the leadership. Over time the team has changed and now Jim, Mary, Jon, Sherece and Beth are the current leaders of the prayer room.
The prayer room was set up to facilitate a rhythm of prayer and worship here in North Devon. Metaphorically building an altar unto the Lord because he is worthy of our praise. This still continues today (please see the programme) We are open for individuals and groups to use the space to encounter God. It ‘sits’ between all the churches in North Devon. NDHOP also has an oversight team to ensure it remains true to God’s vision ( Pro 15:22 )
