Prayer Ministry
The Prayer Ministry at New Covenant House has been called to be intercessors and watchmen for the church. We pray regularly and without ceasing for the move and will of God to be made manifest in the body of Christ. As we strive to continually pray earnestly and fervently, our goal is to equip the church do the same, so that the prayers of today may become the testimonies of tomorrow.

Fasting Type
