An interdenominational urban monastery in Hamilton, Ontario. We are an Urban Monastery based in Hamilton Ontario.

As an interdenominational organization, we partner with local churches and ministries, acting as a resource hub to help strengthen prayer capacities. We have a core team of prayer missionaries who devote themselves primarily to the work of prayer, and we have a weekly prayer rhythm in various "prayer spaces" throughout the city's downtown. In addition, we facilitate weeks of 24/7 prayer where Christians throughout the city can join together in prayer.

Our next Barnabas Listening Prayer Learning Lab is on Tue Nov 3rd at 7pm.

For our first hour we will be leaning into the practice of embodied prayer.

Do you have a spiritual practice or prayer activity that helps you connect to God in your body? We would love to hear about it.

As always, in our second hour we will be splitting into small groups to try on the practice of listening prayer.

Hope to see you there.

We are going to be creating lasting fall leaf mobiles to bring a little of the beauty of creation into our homes! Megan Little came up with this craft years ago when she learned that coating fall leaves with mod podge (a sealant) makes them hold their form and colour for years! It’s amazing! (Picture is of leaves Megan coated a few years back.)

Optional: collect some leaves the day of or day before you come. They need to be fresh. Look for small to mid-sized leaves. A variety of colours and shapes works best. We will have leaves to provided but it might be more fun to bring your own!

Bring a friend! Your teens and older children are welcome to come with you, too!

Hope to see you Tuesday, October 20th from 7-9pm in the prayer room: 1907 King St East.

Pray for Pastor Abraham as he continues to preach, teach, mentor, and disciple in Europe. He has a special service coming on Sunday afternoon. Pray that he will have the freedom to preach with bold ess and power and that the Spirit would sustain him in his busy schedule.

We look forward to his return home in mid-November. No doubt he will have many stories of God's faithfulness and power.

Every Tuesday at noon, GOHOP staff and friends gather for Common Prayer in the prayer room and online.

This year, we are inviting friends from charities, organizations, and churches to join us so that we can pray with them and for them.

This week, we welcomed 541 Eatery and Exchange. It was a joy and privilege to pray for their important work in this city.

Please join us in praying for them. Their prayer needs are in the second photo.

You can support their ministry simply by being present in their space, meeting friends there, or enjoying a cup of coffee and something from their new menu.

We will be joining them for another 541 Prayer Gathering on November 9. Please be part of it.
