Hello, my name is Fr. Michael Voithofer and I am the founder and president of Ablaze House of Prayer. First, I want to thank for taking a moment of your time to learn more about the vision and mission of Ablaze House of Prayer!
Our Ablaze House of Prayer & Ministry Equipping Center Building Project is a partnership with the Mission that Holy Spirit has given to Ablaze! We burn with God's desire to have a greater generational impact within our churches, schools, families, and communities. When I was touched by the Presence of God through worship and adoration, I was different and I went from Architectural Engineering into discerning a calling into the priesthood. |
THE BUILDING PROJECT
What is unique about our mission and vision at Ablaze House of Prayer? First, I would like to briefly share with you how Ablaze began and why. The Ablaze Mission is the deepest desire of Abba God's Heart. He longs to bring us into His Presence.
"these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples." (Is. 56:7)

When I was in college, it was a ministry like Ablaze that introduced me to the Presence of God which transformed my life. I always like to say that I believe that 'The Faith' is not so much taught as it is caught. Intellectual knowledge without a personal encounter with the Presence of God will not be able to withstand the world, the flesh, the devil. God desire our Faith to be a living encounter with His living Heart. This is what changed my life and this is why God has given me the assignment as a steward of His Ablaze House of Prayer. God aches for His children to experience His Presence!
Therefore, it is our supreme calling at Ablaze House of Prayer to minister first unto the Lord through worship! We deeply value worship because worship brings souls into the Presence of God and the presence of God transforms lives forever! We see this same transformation process happening again and again at our Ablaze Worship events. People move from being touched by His Presence at an Ablaze events into a lifestyle of living in His Presence!
Our time here on Earth is a gift from God where he invites us to partner with his desires to bring people into His Presence. This is God's desire for his children. He wants everyone to experience his transforming Presence. His Presence changes the very trajectory of our lives! Therefore, what God's Presence has done in me, I was called to bring to others!
When God raises up ministries like Ablaze House of Prayer, He also raises up people like you and I to financially support that ministry. God has assigned me to steward this Ablaze Mission of His Heart.
Therefore, trusting in God, I'm asking you in faith to consider partnering with God's desire to make a Kingdom impact for generations of peoples to be touched by His Presence. It happened to me... it happens throughout all of the churches history, and its our time to shine!
The Ablaze House of Prayer is 40 acres and we are actively erecting the Ark, which is our current building project. You can see some of the preliminary drawings below. I am asking you to prayerfully consider becoming a partner with God's mission for Ablaze by help us reach our goal!
What will happen in the Ablaze House of Prayer?
The most exciting part of the Ablaze House of Prayer and Ministry Equipping Center is the opportunity for people to experience a 24/7 offering of intercessory praise and worship to God for the nations. We will have musicians offering praise and worship of God from different churches who will be constantly rotating around the clock 24 hours a day, 7 days a week giving God praise, glory, and honor.
