There is always a lot going on at Light of the World Prayer Center, and central to everything is our growing Prayer Room which is open to the public M-F 9am - 6pm and for designated other times for "Harp & Bowl" sets. The Prayer Room has been designed to reflect the tabernacle of David (1 Chr. 22–24); it is a place where we never cease worshiping the Lord and interceding for our world. Our goal is to reach a full 24/7 prayer schedule.

We want you to feel comfortable, whether as a participant or an anonymous visitor. You are welcome to come and go freely and to stay in the prayer room as long as you like. While in the prayer room, feel free to join in with the corporate worship and prayer, read your Bible, study a favorite commentary, write in your journal, or engage in private prayer. You may sit, stand, or pace up and down the aisles. Whatever you do, we ask that you do it in a manner that honors and serves the other people in the room.

Worship with Prayer

Intercession & worship sessions, sometimes referred to as "Harp & Bowl" (based on Rev. 5:8) are usually energetic as the room is invited to engage in corporate prayer. There is generally a specific prayer focus for a corporate burden which may involve the Whatcom County region or believers worldwide. There are also cycles of "rapid fire prayer" when, one by one, individuals in the room are invited to pray a succession of 15-second prayers on a specific theme, as well as times of small group prayer for those who wish to participate.

Worship with the Word is a prayer format in which we agree with God’s heart as we sing the biblical truths of who God is and what His promises are. These sessions are more devotional in nature, providing an atmosphere conducive to reading the Bible and entering into contemplative or devotional prayer.

The NightWatch

Within a growing ministry that desires to run twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, there arises a need for a group of people committed to labor through the night hours. The NightWatch covers the hours of midnight to 6:00am and is a critical part of the night-and-day reality—more than simply completing a twenty-four-hour cycle, it is a response to the inexhaustible greatness of God. Currently we have a few NightWatch sessions and leaders, but are looking for more people called to this ministry.

Because of the lifestyle changes the NightWatch schedule requires, we are seeking a unique company of intercessors within our community. These intercessors, singers, and musicians will need to rearrange their lives and schedules in order to bring strength to the prayer room in the night hours.

The NightWatch mandate is found in Psalm 134:

“Behold, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD, who by night stand in the house of the LORD! Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. The LORD who made heaven and earth bless you from Zion!”
