God’s Church Reaching Out

November 17, 2011

Luis got up to share his excitement about joining ACTS, a disaster agency relief dedicated to assist the volunteers currently in Haiti as well as contributing to the slow rebuilding process. He was joined by people like Evelyn who’s parents escaped Austria and found refuge in Haiti in the 1940’s. Haiti is Evelyn’s home as well as others who happen to have come to the House of Prayer Experience. They surrounded Luis who represents many other people who have given their time and energy to Haiti’s disaster relief and are preparing to leave for the ravaged country this coming weekend.

There was a moment of laughter as Luis describes his creating a quilt for the occasion. He thanked the Prayer and Square team for their pointers. He had even sown in a Haitian flag made out of silk cloth in the middle of his creation which you may see below.

Please keep Luis and the ACTS team in your prayers, and watch for future updates on his trip!

Pastors Morris and Vatel hold up the quilt dedicated to the Haiti’s volunteers and workers.

God-Confidence in the unknown

November 3, 2010


Mary came up for prayer and had asked to be anointed earlier this week, because of her pending surgery. She was a little nervous about having to go to the hospital, but wanted her confidence in God to be a witness to His power. She was surrounded by the friends and elders of the church. She also had people from various places in the United States supporting her online.


Amarilis was joyful as her friends, co-workers and family wrapped her with a prayer quilt as a symbol of their prayers for her and God’s envelopping presence in her life. Tuning in were more friends and family from Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Barbados, California, Indianna and Michigan. House of Prayer Experience happens because of the people who bring or invite the people they know to the meeting.

Give thanks to the Lord, call on His Name; make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts.Glory in His Holy Name; Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
-Psalm 105:1-3
