OUR HISTORY
The vision for the Appalachia Prayer Center was birthed out of a season of prayer and revival that Christ Community Church (formerly New Life Church) experienced in 2017.
This season began with 40 days of Fasting and Prayer, with different people taking turns fasting each day of the week, and everyone praying at least an hour every day. We were preparing our hearts for revival.
This lead to 50 days of revival and outreach beginning on Easter. We experienced the leading and work of the Holy Spirit, both individually and corporately, in ways that we never had.
Toward the end of the revival season, we began to sense the Lord leading us to spend time in corporate prayer, the ten days leading up to Pentecost Sunday. For those 10 days, the church was open for prayer from 6:00 pm to midnight. We spent time tarrying in the Presence of God for as long as we could each day.
At the end of this time, we felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to create a place "where the flame of intercession will never go out in Appalachia." The vision for the Appalachia Prayer Center was birthed. On August 27, 2017, the vision was launched publicly.
Since that time, we have become a network of likeminded pastors, intercessors and leaders from multiple Appalachian states from Alabama to New York, who desire to see true, Biblical revival come to our land.
