dave & janet horsman ::: keepin’ it real since 1998

There’s nothing more aggravating to a blogger than to have lovely bloggable moments, and no way to blog them! Our internet connection has been down for the past week or so. Frustrating!  But this is tempered by the fact that it is also free.  Ah, well…what can ya do?

So, instead of overwhelming you all with all the cute things my kids are doing, (this includes Phoebe wearing tights in the cool fall weather. Oh my, is there anything cuter than chubby, little, baby legs in pink tights?!) I wanted to post a little bit about the member of our family who gets the least amount of “face-time” on this blog - even though he created it! - Dave, and what he’s up to.

Besides doing lots of music and media related “stuff” for the church, Dave’s vision and passion for the past few years has been to establish a 24/7 house of prayer here at Bethany. He gives oversight to the prayer room and the worship teams. The quote below sums up what BHOP is about.

Bethany is a place where missions and prayer collide. We want prayer to be at the core of all that we do as we train and send missionaries out the ends of the earth. We know that it is only through encountering the Father and connecting with His heart that passion for the nations is birthed and sustained. Bethany House of Prayer is the furnace that fuels our passion for Jesus and for the nations.

It’s a huge undertaking! It’s been a struggle and a challenge mostly because of lack of manpower. But yesterday marked a very exciting day for Dave and his co-workers - the beginning of BHOP’s Staff Internship! 7 young men and women have joined BHOP for the year, and have committed to working 30 hours a week in building the hours of prayer and worship here at Bethany…Awesome!
