HH Ministries
PRAYER: According to the records of the Hephzibah House
Ministry, prayer was given priority over all other activities from the
beginning of this ministry. Probably people were praying before
then about the need for such a place as Hephzibah House, which is why
and how God called it into being and has protected and provided for it
these past 100 years plus,
and we still make it our top priority.
Every month, Hephzibah House hosts a prayer gathering to pray specifically for New York City
and some global requests. This takes place on the second Sunday of each month between two and four
in the afternoon. All are welcome...please join us.
THE PRAYER MINISTRY OF HEPHZIBAH HOUSE
Every weekday morning at 9:00 AM...the Hephzibah Staff gathers to
pray. Sometimes houseguests join us and sometimes people come in from
the outside...everyone is welcome and if there is a particular need or
crisis you may come and we will pray with you, or you may phone us and
we will include your request in our prayers. These prayer times are
such blessings to all of us on staff and His Presence is very
precious. Our Monthly Prayer Gatherings are held the second Sunday
afternoon of every month between the hours of 2 and 4 P.M. Near the
end of the sessions it is our delight to pray with those who come to
join us, for any special requests and needs....but the purpose of this
prayer time is to pray for New York City, for the many and awesome
needs of this city, for our leaders, for the various segments of
society...we pray for families and children, professionals...ethnic
groups, churches, etc. We also pray for our world, for crisis places
and problems needing God's hand at that time. This prayer time is for
everyone and anyone who want to join us to pray...if you have never
been a part of a prayer group for city and/or world, come and join
with us. The prayer sessions are wonderful.
A large number of women have joined the Website Prayer Circle that
was started late 2007...this was established for prayers for our world
needs. After you join us, if you have email, a monthly communication
is sent you and the website is updated and it is a way you are able to
join many others with your prayers and intercessions for God's Kingdom
purposes. If you want to research and see what it is all about, just
go to the website...several of those involved in this are using the
material and inviting others to join them in their homes and churches
in prayer meetings for our world. If you are not a part of this, or
have missionary friends, etc., who might like to know about this,
please give them the website...www.womensprayerweb.com after which
they can contact me if they wish to be a part of this movement. (lkewald@earthlink.net)
I know that some of you are not a part of the computer world...if
you aren't but would like to be a part of this prayer group, phone
Lois Ewald at 212-787-6150 and join those others who are a part of
this prayer circle.
Above all else... PRAY!
National Day of Prayer and Global Day of Prayer:
Planned gatherings for these called days of prayer in 2009 were
held.
In 2010, God willing, we will also have special prayer gatherings here
at Hephzibah House
to join people everywhere who gather to pray. Watch for these
announcements and plan to
be with us to pray.
Prayer Website:
In 2007, a website for praying women was established. Many women
have signed up to be
participants in this prayer circle. For those who sign up for
this, a packet containing
some very inspiring and helpful material is sent, and from that
time on, women who use
computers are notified when a new monthly call to prayer is posted on
the website. A
growing number of women worldwide are signing up for this, and all
women are welcome.
Those women who do not use computers may still be a part of this by
phoning me at
Hephzibah House, Lois Ewald, (212)787-6150, and communication is set
up by mail. You
may want to consider this website for your prayer enlargement:
www.womensprayerweb.com and if so, let us hear from you.
