Pray for 5 – Who Are You Praying For?
From April 6th till May 27th, we will have a focus on praying for 5 people to come to know Jesus. Choose 5 strands from the table in the gathering area and weave them together into a wrist band to remind you to pray.
Another great tool is the “Inner Room” that you can load on your phone – follow this link – to find out more and download the app.
The Inner Room is a free prayer list app that turns your mobile phone into a place of prayer. You can add reminders and a list of people to pray for throughout the day
Prayer Walking
The Holy Ground app is lighting up with stories of streets prayed over, homes blessed, and corners claimed in Jesus’ name. We’ve seen prayers for healing, hope, safety, restoration, and for God’s love to be known in every nook and cranny of our cities.
Inspired by the vision of Thy Kingdom Come, the global prayer movement, this initiative seeks to spiritually re-map our cities—transforming streets, homes, businesses, and public spaces into places of divine encounter. From Easter Sunday to Pentecost, we are dedicating this time to walk our streets in prayer.
We see this as a potential missional opportunity for our House Churches to pick up. If you feel led too please click here to download Holy Here

Te Korōria are looking for any magazines (no more then 2 months old and in good condition) to have in the café for reading. If you have any you would like to donate, then please drop these to the café
(e.g. Mindfood, Next, NZ Gardening etc.)
