What others are saying about this book…
Shifting Nations Through Houses of Prayer, by Rick and Patricia Ridings, is a powerful book for every believer to read, especially those wanting to begin a ministry. In their founding Succat Hallel, God gave the revelation that it was not just about starting a house of prayer, but rather birthing it, in line with the timing and vision of God. Rick and Patricia’s journey and lessons learned are a guide full of great wisdom for any type of pioneer work in the Kingdom.
Many of our Iris Global teams, including our last several Harvest Schools, have spent time praying at Succat Hallel. The presence of God is so strong there, we always want to stay for hours worshipping and praying while overlooking Jerusalem. I live in Mozambique, but I consider Israel another one of my home countries because my heart is so impacted each time I visit and pray there. I highly recommend reading this book and praying at Succat Hallel.

I have known my friends Rick and Patricia Ridings for over twenty-five years. They are recognized elders in the global prayer movement who have the tested experience, biblical knowledge, and spiritual authority to write a book such asShifting Nations Through Houses of Prayer.
This is not theory from novices. This book offers wisdom that can be gained only by a persevering lifestyle of long-term commitment to Jesus, and through costly experience. Anyone who can establish and sustain 24/7 prayer and worship in Jerusalem through the years of suicide bombings and other terrorist activities has clearly persevered in the faith and obedience required to give an authoritative voice to the truths in this book.
The authors provide practical insights and inspiring stories to help those who are called to pioneer a house of prayer in a challenging area with small numbers of local believers to serve with them. They also offer invaluable guidelines to those called to minister in other cultures.
Their book shares insights that are as precious jewels concerning Israel, the Middle East, and governmental interces
