Vision & Purpose

The Prayer Collective is the "tip of the spear" for H4HG. It is compromised of intercessors from various churches, denominations, and backgrounds. Intercession serves a significant role in God healing the land, community, and the church.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

- Philippians 4:6

Why Do We Pray?

The mission of the Prayer Collective is:

- Intercession: to engage in fervent and effectual intercessory prayer

- Equipping: to equip believers for the work of the ministry of intercession.

- Declaration: to pray and declare the infallible Word of God

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
