Ottawa, Canada

Watchmen for Ottawa. Witnesses in the public square.

We are watchmen and intercessors, called to bear God's burden in prayer so that all of Ottawa comes to the saving knowledge of Jesus, and to provoke His Church to good works in governance, politics, education, and civic life.

"I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth." Isaiah 62:6-7

Reflections from the place of prayer · 2026

Prophetic Burden

Oh Church, Awake

"There will be more attempts to remove the ancient landmarks that this nation was built on."

Not a polished sermon — just what God is saying in the room.

"Help your Church, O LORD" — is my cry. Restore love. Restore fire. Restore hunger.

Pray that —

  • The Word of God grows and prevails mightily in this nation.
  • The Church of the Lord Jesus in Canada awakes from slumber.
  • LORD, restore unto us your burdens as of old. From among us and your church, find wailing men, weeping men. Men given to you and their knees, men who will cry out in anguish and agony for the souls of men to be saved. And let this start with us.
  • We stay the hand of the devil and his plans over Ottawa and Canada as revealed on 28 April 2026.
