Why plant an AHOP?
All Christ-centered prayer movements a mission and a place in the Body of Christ. Our mission is to draw a diverse group of intercessors who have one thing in common: to contend for the Lord’s will in its city, state and nation—and we give you the resources to do it.
When choosing a prayer movement to align with, ask the following questions:
Does the movement align with my prayer goals?
We are looking for intercessors who are praying for their cities and nations, praying for the harvest, and contending for revival.
Does the movement help me connect with other intercessors?
AHOP offers you a personal e-mail address, a city-branded Facebook group, and an interactive map that lets intercessors in your city find and contact you directly.
Does the movement offer intercessory prayer training opportunities?
AHOP offers online training opportunities, and personal interaction through periodic scheduled phone/Zoom calls with Jennifer LeClaire. You can send in any questions and we will answer them via email and create video answers as well. We also offer discounts on the School of Prayer & Intercession on schoolofthespirit.tv.
Do you have a focus on outside the four walls of the church?
Yes, we have houses of prayer inside companies and inside prisons, as well as e-houses of prayer for intercessors who don’t have a physical location to meet.
Does the movement offer flexibility in meeting times?
While we encourage you to meet once a month or more, AHOP is not concerned with how many intercessors you have or where you meet. We understand your life is busy. The important thing is that you meet.
Does the movement have endorsements from major prayer leaders in the Body of Christ?
AHOP has endorsements from Mike Bickle, Lou Engle, Cindy Jacobs, Bill Hamon, James Goll, Dick Eastman, Becca Greenwood and Dr. Michael Brown.
The Story Behind The AHOP Movement
In 2007, the Holy Spirit woke up in the middle of the night and told me He would bring a Third Great Awakening to the nation. I believe we are going to see the greatest Great Awakening in the history of the world and it will spill over into the nations of the earth for the glory of God. I believe we’ll see a movement greater than all previous moves of God put together. And I know it’s predicated on prayer.
START AN AWAKENING HOUSE OF PRAYER
Four times in Scripture, we see the concept of the church as a “house of prayer” (Isaiah 56:7; Jeremiah 7:11; Matthew 21:13; and Mark 11:17). In Mark, Jesus said, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’?”
Awakening House of Prayer in Fort Lauderdale is a church—but more than a church. It’s a church that models itself in many ways after the early church—the Book of Acts church focused on fellowship, equipping, sending, awakening and societal transformation.
Not all AHOPs are churches. In fact, most aren’t. Most are gatherings of intercessors. Some birth churches over time. Some don’t. Nevertheless, Awakening House of Prayer in any city is a true ekklesia—a tactical operation, organization, and deployment.
AHOP builds on the foundation on authentic relationships with people of like precious faith pressing in to see revival and awakening, with signs, wonders, and miracles.
Our network of churches and prayer houses is relational rather than denominational. Rather than setting up a structure that constricts freedom of expression in your region, we have developed a model that allows you to embrace the unique needs of your city without compromising your unique voice as you advance our shared vision.
