God is drawing people from across Houston — young adults, families, intercessors, neighbors — into a deeper place of worship, prayer, and discipleship. He is building something in the Third Ward that rests on His presence and reaches generations.
This is a sacred moment to respond.
A Dwelling Place for His Presence in the Heart of Houston
At Nations House of Prayer, everything begins with the presence of Jesus.
Isaiah 56:7 declares, “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
We believe God is inviting us to build Him a house — a place where Jesus is adored, His presence is hosted, His Word is taught, and His people are formed into disciples who love Him deeply.
This is more than a construction project.
This is obedience to the Lord’s invitation to establish an altar in the heart of our city — a place where worship and intercession rise day after day, shaping families, neighborhoods, and future generations.
As we build His house, we believe He will build His people.
Why We Must Build Now
The Third Ward is hungry for the presence of God. Young adults are gathering. Families are finding community. Neighbors are walking in asking for prayer. God is breathing on what He started at 3353 Elgin.
But the building is not yet ready for the work He is entrusting to us.
Completing the sanctuary, community space, and children’s wing will:
- expand room for prayer and worship
- create space for discipleship and pastoral care
- serve inner-city youth and families
- strengthen outreach and neighborhood ministry
- prepare the house for future growth
We believe we are in a window of obedience — a moment to respond to what God is doing. The year-end match makes this a strategic time to accelerate the vision.
Building His House
THE SANCTUARY
A PLACE FOR HIS PRESENCE
The sanctuary will be the heart of Nations: a place for weekly prayer sets, worship gatherings, teaching, and moments of encounter. This is where believers will come to minister to the Lord and be transformed by His presence.
THE COMMUNITY SPACE
DISCIPLESHIP & HOSPITALITY
We are building a ministry-driven coffee shop and study space that will become a spiritual home for students, young adults, intercessors, and neighbors. A place for conversations, Bible studies, discipleship, and connection.
THE CHILDREN’S WING
A HOME FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
Phase 2 will serve children and teens in the Third Ward through after-school discipleship, outreach, and connection. This wing will strengthen families and help raise up a generation who love Jesus.
God Is Moving in the Third Ward
This year, the Lord has opened doors for connection and ministry in our neighborhood:
- Over 200 neighbors attended our Back-to-School Block Party, including 140 children.
- Multiple youth and adults have encountered the Lord, including a 16-year-old girl who gave her life to Jesus.
- Neighbors regularly walk into Nations asking for prayer, community, and support.
- Thanksgiving and Christmas outreaches have strengthened families and built relationships that continue today.
These are the first fruits — and the beginning of what God will do as we build His house.
Build His House. Build Their House.
As we build His house in Houston, we are also building their homes in Haiti and Honduras. This is not three separate projects — this is one movement responding to God’s heart for His presence and His people.
HAITI
Special Needs Village
We are preparing a forever home for children and young adults with special needs — including rooms, therapeutic spaces, and daily care rooted in the love of Jesus.
Help us furnish their dignifying home designed just for them.
HONDURAS
Cedros Children’s Village
The first home for orphaned children is under construction.
Your support will allow us to fund a second home, which will double our capacity from 10 children to 20. These homes are family-style, Christ-centered, and filled with belonging.
HOUSTON
Nations House of Prayer
This is our home — the sanctuary, community space, and children’s wing that will host His presence and shape families and disciples across the Third Ward and beyond.
Help us build His home at Nations House of Prayer.
A Note from Our Pastors
We believe God is building something beautiful in the Third Ward — a dwelling place for His presence that will bless families, welcome the nations, and strengthen believers for generations to come.
Thank you for standing with us, praying with us, and building with us.
Your generosity is helping establish a home for His glory and homes for His children.
