At LaHOP worship and Intercession are our primary ministries. We seek to transform our region and others we intercede for through worship & prayer. It is our central purpose to know our Lord Jesus and His will through worship and adoration and then to pray His will for those He directs us to cover in prayer "that the earth may be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord".
We believe in ministering in prophecy and prayer. Prophecy is one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit and is a primary way in which the Lord encourages and exhorts His people. The LaHOP community are all able to pray and prophesy over anyone or anyplace the Lord leads. There are certain watches available where anyone can ask for prophecy through prayer.
We pray for people to receive various types of healing including:
The healing ministry is another of the manifestations of Holy Spirit. God heals and delivers His people today as in times of old and it is His desire that all of His people walk and live in divine health.
The Holy Spirit is our counselor and we seek to minster to individuals and families through His leading and guidance. "In a multitude of counselors there is safety" (Proverbs 11:14) We are simply brothers and sisters in Christ who will pray with you and counsel you to the best of our ability and the wisdom God gives. We are not licensed psychiatrists or psychologists.
At LaHOP we offer personal retreats for those seeking to draw away with the Lord.
Drawing away to be alone with the Lord is an important part of any Christian's life. We have set up LaHOP to be such a sanctuary from the hectic and chaotic pace of the world. Anyone can draw away with the Lord on any day or night, 24/7, if they want to. Longer periods of retreat are encouraged and the LaHOP can be used for this for up to 2 weeks free of charge.
We believe training is an important part of any Christian's life and should be a regular part of one's lifestyle. We do not require anyone to be a perfect person before they can start ministering with the Holy Spirit. But to become a mature Christian filled with wisdom, training and Bible study are necessary.
One of our favorite things to do is to travel to different places around the world to minister to various people groups in worship and prayer. We travel to local congregations and house churches as well as national and international places, bringing the message of God's unfailing love and encouraging those who are also in prayer ministry. Connect with and read about some of these places on our 'links' page.
I believe the most important call on our lives, apart from our ministry to God, is that of ministry to the persecuted church. There have been more people martyred for their faith in the last few decades than in all of Christendom. And multitudes of others still alive and being attacked and persecuted every day - we call these the 'Living Martyrs' of our generation.
