Serving with GOHOP
In the fall of 2023 I came on part time staff with the Greater Ontario House of Prayer (GOHOP). We are an urban prayer ministry, inspired by the monastic tradition and part of the 24/7 Prayer movement.
If you would like to support this work financially, you can donate here. More information is coming soon on this page!
Mission
Jesus is the love and the obsession of my life. I believe that the greatest gift I can give the world is my transforming self. As a member of this urban monastic community committed to prayer and worship, creativity, justice, mission, hospitality, and learning, I will be best able to give myself for the sake of the world.
Vision
My vision is to see darkness banished, people healed and set free, and imaginations ignited for God’s invading kingdom of life. I want to see faith that is dry come alive in fresh and exciting ways as people experience creative prayer and learn embodied ways of interacting with God. I also want to see people who do not yet claim Christ as Lord draw near to him through creativity and encounter the Good News.
My Role
At gohop, I am able to serve out my giftings and I will both plug into existing ministries and start new initiatives! Because my core giftings are connected to creativity this will help bring focus.
My Plan:
To equip the church to draw near to God and grow in our discipleship through creativity, imagination and the arts, through workshops, retreats, and more.
To reach those who don’t yet know Jesus through these same things brought into settings where they will be present.
I will also be serving in the ministries already happening through the Greater Ontario House of Prayer, such as:
Co-leading Asah: Art and Prayer monthly group which I co-started over a year ago.
Help support our Friday night prayer and worship times.
Helping create beautiful prayer stations for our annual 24/7 prayer room.
Create art and liturgies to lead people in prayer.
Helping with our annual outreach – such as prayer and worship in the park.
Praying with and for my local church, which is closely connected with GOHOP.
Finally, I will continue to create and share art and poetry that brings joy and helps people connect to God!
