The Vision-
IHOPE is a ministry serving the Metro Detroit East area. The vision is to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for any person or group desiring to come and pray. We are asking God to fulfill His promise and give the nations of the earth to Jesus as His inheritance. Each prayer meeting functions in one of four different formats inclduing Devotional, Harp and Bowl, Worship with the Word, or Intercession with Fasting for corporate breakthrough, city transformation, and revelation of Jesus Christ in the earth.
Harp & Bowl-
Harp and Bowl is a term taken directly from Revelations 5:8 describing the objects held by one of the angels standing before the throne of God. The angel holds a harp in one hand (representing worship) and a bowl in the other (representing prayers of the saints). Thus, Harp and Bowl is a blending of worship and prayer before the Lord. The connection of the term Harp and Bowl with 24/7 worship is derived from the description of these activities continuing day and night before the throne as described in Revelations 4:8. The Harp and Bowl concept is not new. King David found his beginnings with a harp in the field singing to the Lord. His songs of devotion, deliverance and lamentation were great intercession before the Lord. Out of his heart of worship and prayer God found a king to rule Israel whose primary passion was to restore the ark of His presence to it's rightful place.
The Model-
IHOPE is modeled after the International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City under the direction of Mike Bickle. We meet in the Metro Detroit East area to provide continuous prayer for this region. We desire to be a blessing to the entire church body by providing a prayer covering as well as a training/equipping center. We desire to partner with area churches to achieve our goal of providing 24/7 prayer coverage. Additionally, we are training up worship leaders, singers, intercessors, and sound technicians to be released for service in the church.
