National House of Prayer Newsletter
On Display
Dear friend,
As a new ministry in the nation, we felt it would
be a
good idea to set up a booth at MissionFest Toronto.
Rob and Richard were helped out by Terry and Robin
Long, and some other volunteers from a local
church. Fran also joined us on Saturday.
We met lots of new friends, many of whom asked to
join our mailing list. We want to especially welcome
our new subscribers to this weekly prayer bulletin
from the nation's capital.
Have you heard of NHOP?
The surprising answer
Over the two and a half days we spent on the
exhibition floor at MissionFest Toronto, we had lots
of
very curious visitors. The first question that we
usually asked was, "So have you heard about the
new National
House of Prayer?" We were delighted to find out
that probably 7 out of every 10 people said "Yes."
It seems like the few times that Rob and Fran have
already been on various T.V. programs, it's made
quite a difference. That's how most people said they
had heard about us. Others told us that it had been
through a conversation with a friend that they had
heard the news.
The most surprising question that we received from
those who had never heard about NHOP was rather
amusing. "Is your ministry based out of Washington,
D.C.?" We would point to the Parliament Building
photograph on our booth, and respond, "We're
Canadian! We want you to bring a prayer team to
Ottawa."
Prayer Points
The 39th Parliament on display
1. Pray for a new atmosphere in the House of
Commons as the Conservative government has
its Throne Speech read on Tuesday, April 4th. In
previous newsletters we have reported on some of
the signs God has given us that our prayers are being
answered
as we have interceded for a new righteousness to be
the standard of this 39th Parliament.
2. The election of the Speaker of the
House is a critical appointment. There is some
speculation that there may be a change in this
important position. Pray for wisdom for the M.P.'s as
they vote by secret ballot.
3. Pray also for the selection of the new Chairs
of Committees that will take place over the first
few days of Parliament. These become crucial
positions which allow M.P.'s to develop their
leadership and maturity. Politics Watch notes that
due to a minority government there will be more
opposition members sitting on these committees. We
would encourage you to find out which committee
your own M.P. is sitting on, so you can support them
in prayer.
A suggestion for you ...
There are
several very important national prayer
efforts being launched over the next few weeks. We
encourage all our women subscribers to check out
the website for the Heal our Land National
Women's
Prayer Wave.

As you can discern from the prayer points in this
week's bulletin, these are important days to
be praying for our government. We would encourage
you to tune in to the proceedings and prayerfully
cover everything that you see and hear happening as
the new government is launched this next week.
Representing you in our nation's
capital,
Rob,Fran and Richard
P.S. Our team is available for speaking engagements
to share with congregations and prayer groups about
how to more effectively pray for our nation and it's
government. Give us a call if you are interested.
