The vision
Our prayer is to see a movement of spiritual awakening and revival across Whitehouse, perhaps across Milton Keynes. Jesus prioritised times of prayer through His ministry and so we have created a space each week in which we can do the same.
As we look through church history, we see that the church was at its best, and God His most potent, when His people sought Him in humble, desperate, passionate prayer. We want to ignite and resource this hunger again in the church of today.

The
Story
One Sunday in February 2023, our pastor Tony found himself spiritually hungry, urgently seeking more of the presence of God.
Renting a school hall for church, this continued desire to worship wasn’t possible in that moment. As this urgency and hunger grew for over a week, Tony sought where God was guiding him.
The Holy Spirit spontaneously led him the very next week to New York. Sat in departures not knowing what to do when he arrived, he googled “churches with stuff happening mid week in New York” God led him to a church he wasn’t familiar with, Church Of the City New York. He spent 20 hours in their prayer room that week and came back spiritually revived.
He landed home on a Saturday and preached the Sunday service the next morning, after the service a young person came to him and shared that they wanted to be baptised. Over the next few months, we saw 8 people organically make decision for baptism and 2 people come to faith.
Over the summer Tony felt Jesus was drawing him close to his presence again. In November Tony traveled back to New York, this time with our church Elders. They met with the gracious leaders of Church of the City New York and spent the week attending prayer rooms and a vision for the prayer room in Whitehouse was birthed.
“Don’t despise small prayer gatherings. Every major revival has its origins with a small band of intercessors faithfully crying out! Small gatherings precede big breakthroughs. When we gather to worship and pray, regardless of the size, we convene the very court of heaven on earth. Our prayer gatherings are the most important and powerful gatherings of our city”.

Where and when
Join us every Wednesday, at Watling primary school, Whitehouse, at 7:30pm. You will be met with a warm welcome and led through an hour consisting of sung worship, meditation on Gods word and a time of intercessory prayer. We are journeying together through a time of spiritual formation. God is moving across His church. We hope to see you in the prayer room soon.
Joel 2:12-17
12 “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.”
13 Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.
14 Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing— grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God.
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly.
16 Gather the people, consecrate the assembly; bring together the elders, gather the children, those nursing at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber.
17 Let the priests, who minister before the Lord, weep between the portico and the altar. Let them say, “Spare your people, Lord. Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
