Chicago and houses of prayer Does Chicago need houses of prayer?
A house of prayer is not “required” in Chicago…but it is highly to be desired. We believe it is the wisdom of God to raise up locations where the Body of Christ can in a focused manner come together as one voice to cry out to Him. Having set-aside places devoted centrally to prayer and worship where at any time, anyone who worships Jesus may come and pray and seek His face, is a winning strategy for our city. Most churches are closed throughout the week and are open only 1-2 times throughout the week. A house of prayer allows the many intercessors to have a place to gather throughout the week as “watchmen” for the city, yet does not take away from their commitment to their local church.
