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.

Orchestrated by the Holy Spirit these prayer and worship furnaces are gathering places for Christians of all backgrounds and traditions to cry out to God for their communities, their cities and their nations as we see signs of the end of the age coming ever closer

Our History
The North Devon House of Prayer first began on the 9th January 2009 when Jed and Nicole Robyn who were visiting missionaries from the USA arrived in Barnstable. Unbeknown to them they had family heritage here in the town exactly where the House of Prayer now exists. Back in 2009 they rented a space in the building which was at the time a Christian cafe and book shop. Over the next 2 years a community grew and when the Robyns were called by the Lord back to the USA they handed over the leadership to Jim and Mary Ware who had served on team for the previous 2 years. Over the next 15 years the Lord established NDHOP as a place devoted to minister to the heart of the Lord also a place of training and equipping in prayer and worship. During these years the Lord enabled the miraculous purchase of the building and established NDHOP as a charity. There have been countless testimonies of the power of God at work through the times of worship and prayer, through the internship courses and the mission trips. We are excited to see what the Lord does in the coming years as we continue to fix our eyes upon Him, to listen to Him and to obey Him in all that we do.
A House of Prayer is a God ordained initiative based on the tabernacle of David and the greatest commandments
1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength
and then…
2. Love your neighbour as yourself. (Matt 22:37 )
