In Matthew
21:13, Jesus declares, "My house will be called a house of prayer."
The House of Prayer ministry exists to encourage,
train and facilitate the prayer life of Caring
Community Church. Our goal is that
prayer will be foundational to and saturate every aspect of individual and corporate life.
God's heart is that we be known as a house of prayer;
a throne for His presence and glory that transcends the physical walls of the church and transforms the environment in which
every believer lives.
In Acts
4:23-31, the church prays for more boldness after Peter and John were released from the Sanhedrin. "After
they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word
of God boldly."
In John
17, Jesus prays for us. He knew what we'd need to be able to carry out the commission He was leaving with
us, and He specifically prayed for us.

Romans 8:26 encourages us with these words: "The Spirit helps
us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words
cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints
in accordance with God's will."
Joining in His Holy Spirit, Jesus intercedes for
us as well. "Christ Jesus, who died, more than that, who was raised to life, is at the right hand of God and is also interceding
for us." (Romans 8:34)
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 tells us, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's
will for you in Jesus Christ."
It is
the goal of the House of Prayer ministry that we would do exactly that.
