We are The Citadel of Prayer International Inc. “The Embassy” (CCOPI) is located at 110 Westhampton Avenue, Capitol Heights, Maryland 20743. The word “Citadel” means fortress, sanctuary, and/or refuge and “prayer” simply means request, appeal, and dialogue to God. We exist to build a refuge of prayer for the nation or a place where prayers and petitions are answered. COPI was founded on June 28, 2
010, in District Heights, Maryland by Bishop Thomas Ridgley, currently residing as COPI’s Senior Leader. COPI has found 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 which states, "If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. We are a multicultural, Judeo-Christian Ministry that operates under a solid prophetic and prayer mantle with a focus on building a House of Prayer for ALL people. We are committed to praying and seeking the face of God until he answers. We want you to know that we are here to pray you through, to fellowship, to meet the needs of the people, and to do true ministry according to the book of Acts. We know that every church is called to do a specific work so, we would like to connect with you in any way we can so that we may operate as a body with unity and love. If you have a prayer request, questions, or contribution inquiries, please call our main office at 240.838.7738 or email us at [email protected].
