In 1976 a few friends with a heartfelt burden for the continent of Africa started talking to God about this continent. They asked Him for help, counsel, guidance  and enlightenment so that solutions might be found for the many problems in Africa. God responded in stating His purposes for Africa, giving prophesies, promises  and instructions. Thus a House of Prayer was born… In the years to follow it expanded continentally and in 1985 The Africa House of Prayer was registered under  the official name of Intercessors for Africa. Its headquarters at present is in Nairobi, Kenya.

The Africa House of Prayer is not a church, cult, political organization or profit making enterprise, but a forum for strategic prayer and spiritual warfare for those  who love Africa and have a burden for the establishment of God’s will and purposes on this continent.
