HOP Hattiesburg History
In June 2007, the House of Prayer Hattiesburg (HOP-Hb) was officially initiated at its inceptive foundations.
Beginning over 15 years ago, Servant Church established a corporate fellowship that was deeply rooted in evangelistic outreach for the city of Hattiesburg. Throughout these years, God tenderly laid upon the hearts of the church’s leadership a new paradigm for Church. This paradigm demanded the centrality of prayer and fasting from a first commandment lifestyle. Servant Church wholeheartedly pursued this paradigm shift through calling weekly prayer meetings and city-wide solemn assemblies. By the Lord’s grace, the fellowship opportunely discovered God’s global prayer strategy, which was birthed through the International House of Prayer-Kansas City in 1999.
Soon thereafter, Servant Church transitioned into the House of Prayer Hattiesburg Missions Base. As the daily prayer meetings commenced, God immediately added new people, and the desire to minister to His heart, night and day, intensified. Within a short period of time, HOP-Hb expanded to 90 hours of weekly prayer for the Church, city, state, nation, and nations of the earth.
Currently, the House of Prayer is seeking the Lord to send the musicians, singers, and intercessors to establish 24/7 intercessory worship. The day is soon approaching when the fire on the altar will never go out in Hattiesburg, on earth as it is in heaven!
