September 11 & 12 were amazing times of prayer and ministry at The Altar IHOP.

We hosted the all Pennsylvania House of Prayer session as well as a time of intensive non-stop prayer for the nations at the G-20 was preparing to convene in Pittsburgh the end of the month. Billy Humphrey of IHOP-Atlanta joined us and spoke a wonderful series of timely messages.

One of our big prayer objectives for the weekend was to seek the peace of the city as there was much anticipation of violence in response to several issues on the table at the G-20. Much to our delight, the day after the summit was over, the newspaper headlines were “Peace Prevails at the G-20.”

What an amazing testimony to our God! For indeed, the Prince of Peace does prevail over the city.

In August, Pastor Dennis & a team from the Altar joined 12 other teams from across the state for a 24 hour prayer event in “The City of Brotherly Love”.

The event was hosted by Evangelical Fellowship Chapel in Huntingdon Valley, PA. Much prayer and praise were focused on establishing 24/7 prayer in Philly. A lot of spiritual ground was plowed. Many declarations were made. Saturday morning, PA Senator Stuart Greenleaf shared his legislative concerns. Then, he prayed for every house of prayer in the state, personally praying for every participant.

Intercessors and musicians from all across the state gathered for 24 hours this past weekend at The Altar International House of Prayer in Meadville, PA to pray for Pennsylvania. Worship/prayer teams from Gateway House of Prayer (Ephrata), Reading House of Prayer, Northeast Pennsylvania House of Prayer (Scranton), Voice of the Bride (Pittsburgh), House of Prayer State College, and The Altar (Meadville) as well as a team from Philadelphia/Norristown stormed heaven’s gates in twelve two-hour shifts starting at 7PM on Friday, March 28 and ending with a prophetic celebration at 7PM Saturday, March 29.
