Hello Friends of RHOP,

I want to write to you and communicate a significant change in the structure of the Rock House of Prayer. As of this week I will no longer serve as Director of RHOP.

In the recent House of Prayer forum, I responded to a time of prayer. In that time God spoke to me. God said "JOB WELL DONE!" God indicated that it was time to move out of the position of Director and RHOP leadership team (I have been serving in this position for the past 5 years, since RHOP's inception).

God gave me a word out of the book of John chapter 15:12-17. This chapter is in the context of God's love and his "pruning's in order to produce fruit". As pruning can be difficult and painful at times it comforting that it is God the Father who is doing it! I am looking at this transition as an appointment from God (vs. 16).

As most of you know the Rock of Roseville carries oversight into RHOP. It is with great confidence and joy I endorse and submit to the current leadership team whom is comprised of these wonderful comrades- Greg Spinosi, Nick Parnell, Diane Parnell, Juan Chapa and Matt Trask. They will continue leading RHOP into its next season of Day and Night prayer as a "council". Greg Spinosi will be the communicative "lead" towards the Rock Elders, Pastor Francis Anfuso and Pastor John Houghton (Pastor John will be in direct contact with Greg for all major decisions and insights he will have towards RHOP). Nick Parnell will continue to function as Day Watch Leader and Juan Chapa as Nigh Watch Leader; both providing leadership and direct oversight for our day and night staff. In addition, we will continue to regard Eddie Boasso IHOP KC as an advisor to the team.

As stated before it was 5 years ago that I said yes to God and to the "Anna" call over my life. So now I continue in my original call as a full time intercessory missionary. I will be in the "temple" (RHOP) ministering to God, praying on behalf of the Sacramento region, The Rock of Roseville and simply listening at the feet of Jesus. As with all IM's, I will be securing funding through the miraculous provision of God which comes in a variety of ways one of which is through individuals like you!

Sincerely,

Mike Grant
