Anyone.
Anywhere.
One hour that moves heaven and changes earth.
We are building an unbroken chain of prayer, every hour of every day, for our families, our city, a generation that needs Jesus, and revival in America. There is a place on the wall for you.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
JOHN 1:5 (ESV)
God has always set watchmen on the wall: ordinary people who refuse to let the light go out. We believe the next great move of God in America, and the salvation of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, will be birthed in prayer. So we are taking our place on the wall.
We exist to mobilize Christians to pray for revival in America, Gen Z, and the fulfillment of the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.
Three steps. Anyone can do this.
One hour, wherever you are. Here is what happens when you join.
Choose your hour.
Create a free account and set up your profile in a few minutes. Then pick an hour in the prayer chain. Take a single hour, or keep it every week.
A reminder comes an hour before and again fifteen minutes before, by email, or by text if you turn it on.
Not sure yet? Try it first. No sign-up.
Show up and pray.
Pray from anywhere: your car, your kitchen, the prayer room. It’s a guided prayer experience. Start the timer, and a new prompt moves forward automatically every five minutes, with a chime to let you know. You just show up and pray.
You do not need to be good at praying. You only need to show up.
Then return.
Come back next week, and the week after. You are one of many keeping the same watch, each in their own hour.
This is who we are. Faithfulness, not intensity, keeps the light burning.
Start where you are.
You don’t need the right words or years of experience. The Lighthouse is a guided prayer experience: the prompts move forward on their own every five minutes, so you never wonder what to pray next. You just show up and pray. Choose the length that fits your life, and grow from there.
“My very first time attending the prayer chain, I was instantly met with a release of the weight I had been carrying, as well as a heart stirred for the lost!”
AROD6134 · FIRST TIME IN THE PRAYER CHAIN
“Absolutely amazing!! I am 60 yrs old and for the first time in my life I prayed for an hour straight and it felt like minutes. The app and the prompts are very nice and easy to use. The ambient music ushered in the presence of the Lord during prayer and quiet times. Thank you!!!”

On earth as it is in heaven
Your hour moves through 12 five-minute moments, and the prompts move forward automatically. You just pray.
168 hours in a week. We are filling every one.
Project 168 is our vision for a 24/7 house of prayer: hour after hour, day and night, someone standing on the wall, so the light never goes dark. This is what we are building to, and your hour is your place in the continuous chain.
A picture of where we are going, not a live count: every square is one hour of the week, every one held in prayer, and one of them yours.
Like the Moravians before us, we pray as a relay. You keep your hour, and when it ends, someone else’s begins. No one carries it alone, and every link matters.
In 1727, a small community of believers began praying around the clock, one person after another. That unbroken chain continued for more than 100 years and helped carry the gospel across nations. We are keeping the same kind of watch.
The 96-Hour Watch
Four days. Ninety-six hours. Not one of them silent. As one year closes and another begins, we are covering every hour in prayer for revival in America and a generation that needs Jesus.
Pray once during the watch, and you are part of it.
BEGINS SUNDAY, DEC 27 AT 5 PM · ENDS THURSDAY, DEC 31 AT 5 PM, TWO HOURS BEFORE OUR NEW YEAR’S EVE SERVICE
What God is doing in the watch
“The condemnation that has hung on and depleted my faith for so long has been lifted, and I feel that I have broken through to a new level of understanding and intimacy.”
“God was here in the room again. This chain is powerful. It has changed my heart. It has helped me be more faithful in my walk just by praying for an hour.”
“I was overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit’s presence during prayer! I believe our collective prayers are setting the stage for revival. God is moving, and souls are going to be saved!”
“I’ve been so blessed and refreshed by our prayer times together. I so needed it! God is reminding me of the power of unity. In our unity is where God commands His blessing.”
“At the end, as I was listening, I heard the words ‘rise up.’ Praying and believing that God is moving on our behalf!”
“What a powerful time of praying in unity. It’s exciting to see what God will do through a people who will lay down personal agendas, goals and time to passionately pursue His heart and plan. Let’s go!”
