How it all began...

Prayer Center Dedicated October 23, 2005

Pastor James D. Allen, former Senior Pastor of Dayspring of 18½ years, sought God's plan for the land surrounding Dayspring. "I just felt, and the leadership felt, that the first building placed on the additional 70 acres the Lord has given us should be a prayer center," Pastor Allen said. "We need to confirm in our hearts the priority of prayer.”

Each stone for the Altar of Remembrance was presented on April 17, 2005 by an individual while recalling a life changing encounter with God, believing that God answers prayer continues to fulfill His promises today. The altar represents the cry of His people to increase His Presence and to hear our prayer. May each one who enters the Prayer Center discover the Presence of God, the Power of His Love in Jesus Christ, and His Promises fulfilled through His grace.

The Lord spoke, "You have built an altar of stones outside of the house,
now build me a living stone altar inside the house."

Upon hearing the word from the Lord, people have volunteered to form a living stone altar. Once a week for one hour they came to the Prayer Center to pray and offer up spiritual sacrifices of praise and worship.
