    LIGHT HOUSES OF PRAYER
        The Primitive Methodist Churches are establishing “Light Houses of Prayer” in all of its communities. A House of Prayer that Pray – Care – Share. A Light House of Prayer is a cluster of two or more believers who are banded together to pray for, care about, and share the blessings of Christ with those who live or work nearby. Every Church should be a “House of prayer.” Every home can be a “Light House” in its surrounding area.
