The National House of Prayer has been established since 2005 and is committed to praying for the Government of Canada. Their heart is to establish an ongoing positive

Christian presence in Canada’s capital as they seek to fulfill 1 Timothy 2:1-3. “I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour.” They attempt to do this by having an on-going presence of praying people in the halls of our Federal Government. Intercesssors attend the daily Question Period, sit in Senate sessions, position themselves in Committee meetings and make appointments with individual Parliamentarians. They intercede in the official Prayer Chapel, prayer-walk the grounds of Parliament Hill, visit the Supreme Court, and the Governor General’s residence and pray with Christians groups from the many different departments of national Government.

Ears to Hear is a councel of senior leadership in the prayer movement in Canada, These are typically leaders who actively oversee a ministry that is city-wide in scope, however some are national leaders and a few lead denominational networks. It is based on two foundational beliefs, that God speaks to his people, and that as we discern His will, and

unite strong prayer in agreement with His will - our prayers will bear maximum fruit. The phrase, "Ears to Hear" is repeated by Jesus throughout scripture, but it is drawn from the letters to the various churches in the Book of Revelation, "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches". (Rev 2:7) It's a call for all churches in all conditions, nations, and ages to listen to the Spirit and obey, which always leads to overcoming and blessing. This is their posture as they seek to empower the Canadian prayer movement with the rehma prophetic sounds.

Healing

Heartbeat Ministries is a cross-denominational, cross-generational ministry that God has raised up to facilitate healing and restoration in the body of Christ through prayer and training. Birthed in prayer our goal has never been wholeness but rather intimacy with Christ. Wholeness as a goal will lead us off track and cause us to focus on ourselves. We seek intimacy with Christ that we might walk in His love and give it away.

Unhealed areas of our life block this intimacy. Healing takes place as we encounter Christ. Our goal is to first help people to encounter Christ in their areas of brokenness and then to see them equipped to facilitate others. Heartbeat Ministries is part of the Partners in Harvest network of churches and ministries pursuing revival under the leadership of John and Carol Arnott, Founding Pastors of Catch The Fire Toronto.

Ultimately they are about seeing God impact an area through His church so that more and more people give Him His rightful place in their lives.

every individual need for personal repentance and prayer, to create appropriate materials, and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America’s leaders and its families.

The Mission America Coalition (MAC) is an unprecedented Coalition of Christian leaders who have prayerfully come together to mobilize the Church for praying, caring and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in deed and word. Since its inception, leaders from 81 denominations, over 350 ministries and dozens of ministry networks have been involved in the Coalition. Their Mission Statement is: "The Whole Church taking the Whole Gospel to the Whole

Nation - and to the World!" Their method is Cityreaching. This is simply is the activity of individual Christians, congregations and servant ministries collaborating under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, serving together in their cities, communities or counties to demonstrate and declare the message of Jesus Christ through a lifestyle practice of praying-caring-sharing that "reaches" or "transforms" or "impacts" every man, woman and young person and sector of society with the gospel of God.

WayMakers (Seek God for the City) is a mobilization ministry focused on seeing Christ glorified by obedient, worshiping movements in every people group. Christ’s glory is enhanced and advanced by sensitive , persistent

prayer offered openly by God’s people on behalf of those who have yet to believe and follow Christ. That’s why they equip and encourage Christians to pursue a vision of living in a prayed-for community, and of course, a prayed-for world. Participating in this kind of “saturation prayer,” out-bounded, as it were, from personal concerns, can help Christians move into what we call “prayer mission” with God. When people co-

labor with God by prayer, Christ is centralized and glorified. Hurting and broken people are seen for what they can become in Christ. We see where God desires to do miraculous things, as well as the matters where we simply need to serve people.
