is delighted to announce its “merge” with
The Rock of Roseville
As of May 12, 2008 our new name will be:
The Rock House of Prayer
Our new location will be:
725 Vernon Street, Roseville, CA 95678
(The House of Prayer will be closed from Sat. 4/26 - Sun. 5/11)
In the fall of 2002, the Lord spoke to Pastor Francis Anfuso (Senior Pastor of The Rock of Roseville) regarding establishing a house of prayer in Roseville, CA. In October of 2003, the Roseville House of Prayer (RHOP) was birthed as the fulfillment of this “call” and placed in a “neutral” location as a gift to the city. Last year, the Lord again spoke clearly to Pastor Francis, that He wanted RHOP to come “home”, becoming “one” with The Rock of Roseville.
We believe in these times that God’s great desire is that His Church would be a House of Prayer (Isaiah 56:7). This does not mean that they would have to be called “houses of prayer,” but that they would function with worship and intercession as their primary focus. We believe God is inviting us into the beginning of a transformation of what the Church may look like in the days ahead and invite you to join us in this great journey!
As of 6:00 am on Monday, May 12th, the prayer room will be located in the main sanctuary of The Rock of Roseville, located at 725 Vernon St. Roseville, CA, 95678 (less than a mile from our previous location). During this ongoing transition, we will have news available on our current website (http://www.rosevillehouseofprayer.org). In addition, email addresses will remain the same until we establish our new website at http://www.rockofroseville.com
We will continue to function as a regional House of Prayer, holding steady to our calling to pray for revival and transformation in our region, state and nation. We will also continue to be staffed by Intercessory Missionaries, serving in this capacity as their primary occupation and raising their financial support.
We have included at the bottom of this letter, a list of questions that may arise from this “marriage” with the Rock of Roseville. Please feel free to email us any additional questions you may have. We are deeply grateful for the love and support so many have shown us and look forward to walking through this next chapter together as God continues to make His name glorious in this region!
Blessings to each of you!
Mike Grant and leadership team
