It’s all hands on Deck down here in Devon as we prepare for a few quiet months.

Big News….

As of today (the 1st of July) we are on sabbatical for three months! After 16 years in ministry we feel the Lords given us permission for a three month pause. We will use the time to connect with the Lord and relax and unwind! We will be throwing our phones in the sea (perhaps not just metaphorically!) and will hopefully be able to head out to somewhere as if we stay at the farm the whole time it will take some self control to not do too many jobs! There’s always something that needs fixing!

We obviously won’t be involved with the house of prayer during that time, but it will still be primarily open and our wonderful team (Led by the wonderful Jon and Sherece) will be keeping the prayer rooms days to day going. For opening times keep an eye on our Facebook page and check the NDHOP website. We can’t wait to see the prayer room flourish with the Moles’ steering the ship! Please pray for the NDHOP team as they transition during this time.

If you need ministry, would like to connect with the house of prayer, or are a church who would like to arrange meeting with our team, they would love to talk to you! Head down to the prayer room, or contact the team through info@ndhop.org.

Pedal and Pray Ireland

Jim completed Pedal and Pray Ireland on the 15th of June after 12 days of full on cycling, praying, and speaking. Lots of divine appointments and blessed times during that ride. You can read all about it here. 

To everyone who has supported pedal and pray, thank you for your prayers and encouragement! We hope you were encouraged also through the testimonies and numerous stories born through this incredible prayer assignment.

Farm and Land

The farm is flourishing, berries and currants are growing very well, and the fruit trees are growing too. The horses have been enjoying the warmer weather, apart from the horse flies of course. The lambs and sheep are doing well on the long grass too!

In other news, after several years of prayer Esther has secured another pony! 2 year old Star is coming over to the mainland from Ireland! Esther spotted her on Facebook a day after Jim returned from pedal and pray, and after discussion with the seller (who happened to be friends with one of Jim’s contacts in Ireland!) we prayed and the Lord provided the way to purchase her! She is officially arriving on the 1st of July!

We have also been busy building a new shed for horse equipment, and Zoe has been busy

Mission Trip June!

Our June mission trip was blessed and fruitful. On the Friday the Ware and Moles Families drove the six hour journey down to Ashford Kent. We stayed their for three nights, serving the church and community at Willesborough Baptist Church, We had such a wonderful time hosting a leaders gathering with them, and then joining in their International Sunday Service and Bring and Share! Everyone was so welcoming and it was amazing to see God working in what we were doing. The Moles’ headed back to Devon on the Monday morning, and the Ware’s continued down to Eastbourne to meet with John and Yvonne Pressdee prayer warriors and walkers who walked from John O’Groats to Moscow via London and Berlin! They had some incredible stories about their time leading their epic prayer assignments. We had an amazing time praying with them about establishing a House of Prayer in Eastbourne.

Please continue to pray for us during our sabbatical that we would be able to have quality time as a family and get away for some holidays. Thank you for your continued support, and please do keep up to date with all the exciting things happening at the House of Prayer over the summer.

Expect little news from us here during our Sabbatical, We’ll be back in October!

Every Blessing,

Jim, Mary, Esther, Joshua, Zoe, Daniel, and, Apphia.
