Rhema Prayer Ministries

Rhema Prayer Ministries Rhema Prayer Ministries, Inc. is a not-for-profit Intercessory Prayer Ministry. Rev. Yvonne Stradford and Rev. Soon after, they were joined by Rev. Isaiah 61:1-3

History
In 1976, Our Father, by His Eternal Holy Spirit, began to stir and burn within the hearts of three women a deep earnest desire to pull aside and fellowship with Him. Madeline Donaldson met in a park under a tree to pray during their lunch hour. Carol Bert who began hosting prayer in her home. In the process of time the Lord divinely connected them with other sisters that had the same earn

est desire to sit at the Father’s feet and minister unto Him. Holy Spirit began manifesting very gently bringing a word of wisdom, a word of knowledge, tongues and interpretation or prophecy as the process of inner healing began. They knew the Lord was calling them to walk a Holy life before Him; for He had a purpose for their lives. As years passed, the Lord separated them geographically; Rev. Donaldson relocated to Florida and Rev. Bert to North Carolina. However, they continued to pray and come together for times of fellowship knowing God had knit them in the Spirit. In April 1987, under the mandate of Holy Spirit to stretch forth our tents, we began gathering annually. These “gatherings” eventually gave birth to our Annual Retreat, known today as the “Advance”. The Advance fosters an environment of worship and reverence that releases the Holy Spirit to destroy yokes and set captives free. In 2003 the leadership mantle was placed upon Tammy Stradford, who in 2006 was ordained and licensed. Subsequently, in 2013 she was set apart in the Pastoral Office. The Holy Spirit continues to enlarge our territory. In addition to the National Headquarters in Staten Island, NY, Rhema Prayer Ministries has established three Chapters in Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Commissioned by God, we continue to impact His Kingdom for His Glory.

What a beautiful time we had at the 39th Annual Advance 2026. God met us, refreshed us, and reminded us once again of the power of gathering together in His presence.

From worship, to the Word, to fellowship, it was truly a special time for us. We are so grateful for every prayer, every attendee, and every moment that was shared.

We went deeper and we thank God ♥️

The time has arrived.
Today, March 25, we began our 39th Annual Advance 21 Day Consecration Fast under the powerful theme: Deep Calls Unto Deep. 🙏🏽🌊

Each year, this time of consecration, prayer, and fasting is powerful, life-changing, and filled with the presence of God. We are expecting Him to move mightily during these next 21 days.

If you are on our email list, you should have already received the prayer points for the next 3 weeks. We will also be sharing them here on social media throughout the fast. Swipe to view Days 1–7, along with practical steps you can take during your time of consecration.

We are praying that during these 21 days, God will bring breakthrough, deepen our hunger for Him, and draw us into a greater place in His presence.

You can also find additional resources in our Fasting Highlight on Instagram.
