National House of Prayer Leaders Summit 🙏🏼




This month I attended the National House of Prayer Leaders summit in Dallas, Texas, where 100+ leaders from 30+ different prayer rooms came together for multiple days of training, prayer, ministry, and connection.
While at the summit, I ran into several leaders who mentioned how my books, the podcast and our Presence Pioneers Substack articles have been an encouragement and blessing to them. This was confirmation to me that we are “hitting the mark” with our resources - strengthening presence-centered communities across America and beyond.
The Greenhouse Worship Room - February 1 🙌🏼
One of our new rhythms for The Greenhouse Worship Room is to gather on the 1st Saturday of the month for extended hours of non-stop worship & prayer, followed by a Bible teaching and meal together. On Saturday, February 1 we had a small and sweet gathering at a Christian study center near East Carolina University.
One highlight for me was having our team praying and prophesying to a young student who’s father had recently been diagnosed with cancer.





After five hours of non-stop worship, we all found ourselves singing the refrains of Revelation 4-5, where the angels in heaven are singing “Holy, Holy, Holy” and “Worthy is the Lamb!”. Here is a video clip from Instagram of those final moments:
