HOUSE OF PRAYER
PORT MORESBY
WHO WE ARE
House of Prayer Port Moresby (HOP POM) is a place where corporate worship and intercession as well as the call for justice goes up before the throne of God day and night. We are committed to serving the body of Christ to take its place in the nation. We are a ‘VOICE’ calling the people to prepare for Jesus’ second coming.​
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a beautiful country, with many cultures and languages, rivers and jungles and mountains, and a land of the unexpected. But PNG is struggling with corruption and domestic violence. We have the highest HIV rate in the Pacific. Sam from PNG: “My cousin (26 years old, Mom of one child) and her baby died during delivery in September 2016. The equipment in the Health Centres is limited, medicine always runs out. This shouldn’t be daily routine in the 21. century!”
In 2014 as I was seeking the Lord one morning, I read the first chapter of the Book of Nehemiah. And right there in the verse, the Lord reminded me about PNG and the state where my people are living in. That morning I sensed the Lord clearly spoke this verse to me…” just like Jerusalem the spiritual walls of Papua New Guinea are broken down and your people are living in shame. Just like Nehemiah, I am calling you to establish a 24/7 House of prayer to rebuild the spiritual walls and gates of PNG.”
We believe Papua New Guinea is in a state of broken walls and burnt-down gates. And someone or a people like Nehemiah need to stand up and say Lord here I am, I want to stand in the gap and rebuild the walls and the gates. People like the persistent widow in Luke 18, call out for justice until it is established in the nation. People, who humble themselves, pray, repent, and seek His face. Then He will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land. (2. Chronicles 7:14-15) In 1875 Papua-New Guinea heard the gospel for the first time. Many European missionaries were part of the pioneering work in PNG. In 2007 the nation made a covenant with the God of Israel. But we are still struggling to keep it. More breakthroughs in prayer are needed! That’s why we are establishing the 24/7 house of prayer in Port Moresby.
​
House of Prayer Port Moresby (HOP POM) is a ministry of Youth With a Mission (YWAM)
We believe prayer and missions belong together. That’s why we have two ministry expressions: a house of prayer in the capital and a bush clinic in the province of New Ireland. The House of prayer is established to serve the body of Christ to take its place in the nation and to see justice released in PNG. The bush clinic is the mercy arm of the house of prayer. Its goal is to save lives and improve health care for the people in New Ireland.
REBUILDING THE WALLOF JUSTICE
Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.”
Nehemiah 2:17
