Monthly Prayer Night: Covering 2026 in Prayer

Join us for an evening of teaching and corporate intercession as we pray over a pivotal year for Elijah Rising and Houston.

2026 brings significant growth: the opening of our Emergency Safe Home, expanded outreach capacity, the Abolition Summit—a national anti-trafficking conference—and Houston hosting the World Cup. This season demands prayer, and we’re inviting our faith community to stand with us.

Each gathering features brief teaching followed by extended time in corporate prayer, where we lift up our work, our city, and the women we serve.

In-Person: 402 Teetshorn St., Houston, TX 77009

Online: Zoom link provided upon registration

Whether you’re joining us in person or online, come ready to pray. No experience necessary—just a heart to intercede for justice and healing in our city.
