The presence of God transforms people. It transformed me.
I was fourteen when I gave my life to Jesus. What moved me to surrender wasn’t a sermon or a song; it was watching other kids my age talk to God like they actually knew Him. They were engaging with Him as if He were near, as if He were a real person who was really listening!
Until then, I’d grown up in church and only knew a distant God, one who felt far-off, unreachable, and indifferent. I didn’t know prayer could look like friendship.
That night, I asked God to reveal Himself to me, and in a moment, He did. I was filled with His Spirit, and I haven't been the same since. I witnessed others encounter His presence, and through that very presence, I was transformed too.
I wouldn’t have known to call that space a “prayer room” at the time, but looking back, that’s exactly what it was. My heart now burns to see everyone, everywhere, encounter Him and be transformed in the same way I have.
Who am I? What are we building?
My name is Naomi, and I have the honor of serving as a full-time missionary for Prayer House! Prayer House exists to train, equip, and send believers to plant prayer rooms across the world. A prayer room is a place where we host the presence of God through thanksgiving, praise, and the reading of His Word.
Our team is convinced that unceasing prayer and worship aren’t merely a discipline of the faith but the substance of the faith itself. Prayer changes everything! Prayer isn’t an accessory to our relationship with God; it is our relationship with God. Before we evangelize, before we disciple, before we’re sent, Jesus teaches us to pray (Matthew 9:38). I believe every role in the Church is most effective when it flows from friendship with God.
How do I fit into the bigger picture?
Prayer House hosts a six-month mission school in Wilmington, North Carolina, where believers from around the world come to be trained and equipped for this very mission.
As the Outreach Coordinator for Prayer House, I help pioneer the intersection between the prayer movement and the missions movement, equipping students to carry into the world what they’ve received in the prayer room.
Here’s what my role includes:
Leading our weekly outreach track (Thursdays from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM), where I teach our students how to share the gospel confidently and compassionately
Overseeing outreach efforts like local evangelism, street ministry, and community service initiatives
Discipling and serving a team of staff, students, and volunteers into a lifestyle of missional living
How can you partner?
This is where I need your help and faith!
When you give, you’re not just helping me pay bills or funding an organization. You’re investing in eternal fruit! Every dollar you sow goes toward seeing lives transformed by the presence of God.
As a missionary, my income is completely support-raised. Your partnership makes it possible for me to commit to this mission full-time! My salary is supported by a team of monthly financial partners, and I’m currently looking to expand that team as I continue stepping out in faith.
My goal is to raise $3,000 per month to cover essential living expenses, including rent, meals, transportation, and savings. I’m praying for a team of 30 people that would come alongside me monthly for a year as I walk out this call of obedience.
Would you pray about joining that team today?
By sowing into me, you’re sowing directly into our mission to see Jesus adored, prayer restored, and lives transformed forever. Every gift is tax-deductible, and every seed sown is contributing to an eternal kind of impact.
Thank you for believing in this mission and for saying "yes" to eternal fruit!
Love,
Naomi
