About Our Ministry
Our History
Sweet Hour of Prayer (SHOP) is a ministry that firmly believes in the power of communal prayer. When we pray together, we command the presence of God and He shows up when we gather in His name. We also connect with one another, thus strengthening our relationship. The scripture encourages us to pray without ceasing. Prayer is simply communicating with God, and scripture encourages to pray without ceasing. Without communication (prayer), we are left in the dark, we experience no progress; disaster is inevitable, and our relationships do not thrive.
We believe prayer is a powerful weapon freely given and accessible to all for victorious living. This belief birthed our ministry which commenced on February 18, 2017 at Christ Apostolic Church, Overcomers Center in Brockton, Massachusetts. SHOP meetings are meant to create an atmosphere of unperturbed relationship with God as we pray, praise, worship him in Spirit and in truth.
Our goal is to create a prayer movement that will inflame the supernatural and create an atmosphere for the miraculous, ignited through Spirit empowered lives at every gathering, thus deepening our faith to grow into Christ-likeness for victorious living. To achieve this goal, we need to stand as one in the place of prayer. It is time to rise. It is time to stand in the gap for the needs of our community and land. It is time to pray!
Our Vision
To create an atmosphere barred by no walls for all to seek God’s face in prayer for the peace of our community.
Our Mission
Our mission is to nurture Christ-like life, win non-believers to know and embrace the saving love and grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as we gather Christian individuals and faith communities to pray together.
