After exceeding our goal for the #FundPrayer campaign at the end of last year, we hit the ground running! We hosted an incredible New Year’s Eve worship night with The Greenhouse (see photos below), and then reopened our prayer room - now with four hours per week of live worship & prayer.
We have some really exciting developments happening with PPM that I can’t wait to share with you in future newsletters. Multiple book projects are in the works, more resources on David’s Tabernacle are being developed, and a ministry partnership is forming that will help multiply our impact and reach. Stay tuned!
Check out the recent testimony below about how our PPM resources are encouraging leaders and helping churches grow in prayer. Thank you for your partnership with us!

New Year’s Eve Worship Night🎉







We celebrated the first anniversary of The Greenhouse with a powerful worship night on New Year’s Eve. We gathered in the venue that we use for our prayer room each week, and it was full of hungry worshipers (we had to bring in extra chairs)!
We plan to host more worship nights and special events in 2026 to help funnel more people into our regular local rhythms of prayer and discipleship. We have already had several new visitors in 2026.
Enjoying Prayer & PPM Testimony 🙌🏼
I received the following message recently from a pastor:
Hey Matthew!! Just wanted to say thank you for your story you just sent in your Presence Pioneers newsletter!! It was super encouraging to me as I am stepping out to build a prayer room at our church… I wanted to share with you that I will be leading our congregation through your Enjoying Prayer book starting this Sunday as I begin the teaching arm of our prayer room! I’m excited for them to go through it. Thank you so much for all you do for the prayer movement. You’ve been a huge blessing and encouragement to me!
