House of Prayer

Last night I visited a House of Prayer in Vienna that one of my teammates found on the internet (check out jesusfreaks.at). I spoke with Klaus and Mona, the couple who are heading up the house of prayer and have also planted a church. They call themselves Jesus Freaks and the style of the House of Prayer as well of the church is very laid back, fluid, and creative. I liked it!

The vision of the House of Prayer is to pray for unity among the churches in Vienna and to one day have it open 24\7 with people taking shifts so that prayer will be going on all the time. They´ve set up different stations in the prayer room with creative ideas of how to pray. For instance, there is a corner that has a canvas with broken glass on it that says, brokennes brings about unknown beauty and then there´s a really soft rug to sit on, letting you feel the comfort of God as you pour out your brokenness to him. And the cool thing is that Klaus and Mona are all about others coming with creativity to mold and shape the prayer room and add new things! They´re just looking for more help.

I´m interested in this house of prayer. God has been teaching me a lot about prayer and I´m inspired to really sow seeds in prayer with faith, knowing that God will answer. Someone shared a story about Billy Graham the other day, how all of the work and preparation for ministry is in prayer.

Will you join me in seeking God if He wants me to serve in some capacity at this House of Prayer during my time here? I really want to spend this time strategically and in a way that will best advance God´s Kingdom. Please be in prayer that God will connect me with the people and ministries here that are most strategic for His Kingdom and glory!

I´m learning so much! God´s been really faithful to connect me with more and more people so I feel like I´m gaining ground here! Lots more to share but I´ll save it for another post.

Love to you all!
