She Was Weeping For 40 Minutes in God's Presence
A Testimony, A Special Invitation and the 2025 Annual Report from Presence Pioneers
Ministry Partners and Friends,
At our recent Phenomenon ‘26 conference, a teenage girl wept for 40 minutes during worship as she encountered Jesus in a tangible, life-changing way. She later shared with us :
“it was like I finally found the purpose of life, and I believe that I did. Being in that room in that moment saved me…”
This reminded me of my encounter with God at a youth camp when I was 18 years old. That moment began to teach me that God’s presence changes everything and set the trajectory of my ministry. Now, for the last 19 years, my wife, Shepard, and I have given ourselves full-time to leading worship, building prayer rooms, teaching the Bible, writing, traveling, and connecting with leaders.
Our vision is to build day-and-night worship and prayer for revival that touches the nations with the Gospel of Jesus. How we have done that has changed as we have followed God’s voice from season to season, but the mission and vision remain the same: 24/7 prayer, revival, and the Great Commission.
Our ministry currently takes on two primary expressions:
The Greenhouse - our new church plant and prayer room in Pitt County, NC
Presence Pioneers Media (PPM) - our media ministry that produces books, podcasts, and courses to equip the body of Christ across America and around the world
We want more people to experience Jesus’s life-changing presence through PPM and The Greenhouse, just as the young girl did at our conference. But we need your help. Our most urgent need in this season is monthly partners who will stand with us in this mission.
How much would the Lord have you give each month? Whether $5 or $500, your partnership makes a huge difference in advancing God’s kingdom. You can give online at fundprayer.com or mail a check to Presence Pioneers, PO Box 170, Farmville, NC 27828. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
