Purpose of VERTICAL:
A season (this one week) of 24/7 worship & prayer provides a place, time, context & potentially a catalyst for persistent, continual prayer to continue in our city. Throughout history, God has raised up communities of prayer and worship, especially at times of social and spiritual crisis. Our vision at ONEHOP is to establish 24/7 worship & prayer in Omaha. This vision will be fulfilled as those from the churches in Omaha gather with us (whether on staff or as volunteers) to exalt the Name of Jesus over our city and stand as watchmen on the wall: to build a place of continuous agreement with the heart of God in worship & prayer. Alvin J. VanderGriend says, "A prayer room helps the church look beyond itself, motivating it to unleash prayer power for the unsaved, the community, the nation, missionaries and the world."
The city-church coming together to lift a canopy of praise over our city!!! JESUS IS WORTHY OF PRAISE! TO HAVE A WEEK OF UNCEASING WORSHIP & UNCEASING CONVERSATION WITH JESUS! What a lavish offering we can give Jesus~ 24/7 worship & prayer!!!!

We will not have prayer leaders in the prayer room during VERTICAL. ONEHOP is transformed into areas of interactive prayer stations/walls, which are welcoming for everyone. All ages are encouraged to come and engage in prayer!
We believe that VERTICAL (168 hours of worship) will be a catalyst to the night and day expression of worship & prayer. We long to see this established:
1) for all people to encounter the love of God.
2) to cultivate a climate of divine encounter where heaven's throne room of worship & prayer connects to the earthly prayer rooms (on earth as it is in heaven).
3) to prepare hearts for the next great awakening (this is why we contend night & day).
4) to stir us to greater intimacy with God; that our cry would be "Zeal for Your house has consumed me" (Psalm 69:9).
5) that we can represent God to the people of the earth~ to show them this is what relationship with God looks like.
6) cultivate an environment that is rich with God's Presence that new believers grow quickly as they meditate and study the Word in the prayer room.
7) most importantly, Jesus is worthy of all 24 hours/day! What is a more reasonable response to the immeasurable worth of Jesus than night and day worship & prayer?
