A special video from my pastor
Help Us Build Praying Communities Locally and Globally
Last year, God spoke clearly to me and my wife, Shepard, to plant The Greenhouse here in eastern North Carolina. We knew this meant that He would also rearrange our relationships. Relational shifts are a hard but necessary part of any transition in life.
I knew we needed to align with other leaders who could support and cover us as we pioneered this vision from the Lord. One of the unique challenges to the vision was that God wanted The Greenhouse to be both a praying local church and a regional prayer room. Who could help us navigate the unique challenges of establishing both ministry expressions under one roof?
Enter Brad Stroup. Brad is the founder of The Prayer Room DFW, a citywide house of prayer in Arlington, Texas that hosts 22 hours a day of live worship and prayer. He is also the lead pastor of Forerunner Fellowship there. He has the unique perspective of being both a church planter and the founder of a thriving prayer room.
When Brad mentioned the possibility of joining his network of pastors and house of prayer directors (called PINET), it didn’t take long for the idea to seem good to me and the Holy Spirit1. Brad has been a friend and ministry colleague for years, so there was a lot of built-in trust and respect between us. Brad is still a friend, but he’s also now my pastor and spiritual covering in this new season of ministry. I’m honored and grateful for his video endorsement below2.

Through our ministry work with Presence Pioneers globally and The Greenhouse locally, we are working to encourage, build, and mobilize prayer that fuels revival and the Great Commission. We are in need of an additional $3000/month in partnership to keep our ministry strong and growing in its impact. Will you partner with us today? Our biggest need is monthly financial support. Thank you!
