PARTNER WITH 24/7 PRAYER
"All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him..."
FUTURE PLANS AND FINANCES NEEDED FOR GROWTH
A LETTER FROM THE LEADERSHIP
“Many people understand their need for prayer, but very few understand the need to fund prayer.
The patriarch David understood building a resting place for God meant funding the prayer room. However, we can't gather funds the way he did—getting the funds from nations he conquered. We have to take a more conventional approach of being faithful to stand in prayer, and invite people to partner.
When I was in prayer asking God for funds for the Triangle Prayer Room the Lord said, “Remember it’s not your prayer room. I said, My house shall be called the House of Prayer for all nations. The Triangle Prayer Room is an extension of My heart and I will bring people to partner with you in building future plans for My House.”
​​
We desire to help fuel, fund, and encourage day and night prayer in the Triangle Region (Ralegh, Durham, and surrounding communities). The primary way we do this is helping to pay singers, musicians, and skilled administrators to build the House of Prayer. This originates from Isaiah 56:7 and is quoted by Jesus in Matthew 21:13 and Mark 11:17. Jesus said, “My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all Nations (also Isa. 56:6-7).​

WHAT IS OUR CURRENT NEED?
Our monthly Budget is set for $8500 monthly & currently, we have approximately $2800 raised monthly. Of course, this fluctuates as we may get a random gift, or others who have committed to give may not be able to give each month.
WHERE ARE THE FUNDS SPENT?
Funds are spent between: (1) paying staff, (2) operating expenses, and (3) office supplies. Currently, we have 5 full-time paid staff and 2 part-time paid staff. Also, two unpaid Executives (As always, Nelson Radford and Ben Atkinson do not receive any type of compensation from the prayer room).
HOW ARE STAFF PAID?
Staff members can raise support just like other active missionaries, and we want to help supplement their income by paying them a small weekly salary. We are currently in need of a minimum of 2k weekly to cover the cost of these salaries. Thankfully, we have raised approximately $700 per week. That leaves a deficit of $1150 weekly. We want to pay the staff more as they are truly worthy and faithfully serve. And in paying them, we are declaring to Jesus that day and night prayer is needed and worth it in our region​.
WHAT IS NEXT?
Our main goal for what's next is the desire to bring in other singers and musicians to minister to the Lord, and create a place for prayer in the Raleigh area, which reaches unto the ends of the earth. The more funds we can bring in the more hours of worship and prayer we can add.
CAN PEOPLE COME & DONATE THEIR TIME?
Yes! We want to have singers, musicians, artisans, intercessors, and administrators serve within the prayer room structure. For more on this see our website https://www.triangleprayerroom.com/giving
WHAT IF I WANT TO DO A FUNDRAISER FOR YOU?
That is great! We truly desire your help on this journey. There are several ways that you could host a fundraiser: some have hosted dinner parties, others have done silent auctions, while many have sold items that they no longer need. (Some have donated these items, or still others have created online events that raised funds.) Please feel free to use your gifts and talents to raise money for God’s plan and purpose for building prayer in Raleigh, Durham, and surrounding area.
THE GREAT COMMISSION & DAVID'S TABERNACLE
​​​​​
WHAT ABOUT THE GREAT COMMISSION?
​
Each of the staff members is required to serve in their local church. Also, we want them to lead or participate in discipleship of the next generation throughout the year. Additionally, at some time during the year, they are encouraged to be involved in outreach missions where the Gospel is shared in other countries.
​
WHAT IS THE BIBLICAL BASIS FOR A FUNCTIONING MODERN DAY PRAYER ROOM LIKE UNTO DAVID’S TABERNACLE?​
​
Jesus said, “When you pray,” and not if you pray (Matthew 6:5). We believe God’s first act in bringing Israel out of the wilderness was to establish the priesthood, those that ministered to God day and night (Exodus 19:6). The priesthood was given just for Israel to function as a kingdom of priests. We see this in Moses, David, and Solomon’s Tabernacle. However this Priesthood was opened up to Gentiles who believed in God (Isa. 56:6 “...sons of foreigners who join themselves to the Lord.”).
This priesthood of both Jew and Gentile believers is further glorified after the death and resurrection of Jesus as the book of Revelation declares, “To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” This means Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), He is the head of the Church (Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 1:22, and Ephesians 5:23), & He is the Melchizedek High Priest (Psalm 110:4 ; Hebrews 7:21). Jesus is our Savior, head of the Church, and our overcoming High Priest.
Peter further explains that we are called to be a Priesthood of all Believers from the Family of God (Jew and Gentile) united together in God’s love (1 Peter 2:5).
Peter also shares that all who link themselves to the Lord were baptised by the Holy Spirit, both Jew and Gentile, as the Holy Spirit fell as a tongue of Fire on both Jew and Proselytes (Newcomer; one who has come over from a Gentile religion to Judaism). Paul also declares there were Cretens and Arabs and many other ethos groups (Acts 2:3-13). Paul continues that Jesus broke down the middle wall of separation, between Jew and Gentile, to bring us together to make a Kingdom of Priests (Ephesians 2:15-17). Then, in Romans 1-8 and Romans 9-1, he further clarifies that both Jew and Gentile, united together as one in the family of God. Therefore we are called to be a living sacrifice holy, acceptable and pleasing unto God our Father in Heaven. Truly He is the Burning One and We are the Offering out of every Nation, Tribe, Tongue, and People (Rev. 7:1-9; Isaiah 66:20).
David taught and the Psalmist declared, “Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth” (Psalm 96:1). Jesus said, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” (Isaiah 56:7,Jeremiah 7:11,Matthew 21:13,Mark 11:17). Therefore, as the nations of earth we are called to sing; worship & Prayers sung unto the Worthy One. Until His Kingdom has Come and His will is being done.
