The Kenya House of Prayer (KHP) is a Christian organization duly registered in Kenya as an Inter-denominational, non-denominational prayer movement. The term “House of Prayer” is derived from the Bible, that “God’s house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations” – Isaiah 56:7.
ABOUT KENYA HOUSE OF PRAYER
KHP was established in 1995 by brethren who had a burden to pray for the nation. This was in response to God’s clarion call over Africa when He said earlier in 1983 that “Though you have been called dark up until now, you shall be called dark no longer. For out of you shall come out great light that shall shine to the uttermost parts of the earth”
AFFILIATION
KHP is affiliated to Intercessors for Africa (IFA) which has its head office in Kenya. Intercessors for Africa was founded in 1985 as a network of participating national prayer and intercessory networks of countries primarily within the African continent, as well as Africans in the Diaspora.
