JUSTICE HOUSE OF PRAYER

What JUSTICE HOUSE OF PRAYER does

Justice House of Prayer DC (JHOP DC) is a Washington, DC-based evangelical ministry organization founded in 2004 by Lou Engle following a 31-day prayer and fasting initiative focused on national elections. The organization's mission centers on prayer, worship, Gospel proclamation, biblical justice, and mission outreach, with an explicit focus on governmental intercession from its Capitol Hill base. It serves individual Christian believers, intercessors, and supporters of national and global prayer initiatives, with a secondary focus on the 10/40 Window region and East and Southeast Asia.

JHOP DC's product and content surface includes authored books (Dream Stream in English and Traditional Chinese, Prayer That Impacts The World), branded merchandise (keytags for DC and Taipei, coffee mugs, coaster sets, and bundles), a documentary film sub-brand (Woodyard Films' The Apology), and an extensive library of free teaching messages distributed via its website and YouTube channel. The organization does not disclose any proprietary technology, platform, or software products, and its digital infrastructure is a standard Squarespace-based website and e-commerce storefront.

The business model is a hybrid of one-time product sales and donation-based ministry funding. Merchandise and books are sold through the website at fixed unit prices ($5–$35), while financial support comes from one-time and recurring monthly donations, with suggested tiers of $100, $222, $500, and $1,000. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer through the organization's own website, with no disclosed third-party retail, distribution, or institutional partners. Leadership is held by Executive Directors Matt and Kim Lockett, with a reported headcount of approximately 5 employees.

Broad incumbents

• Focus on the Family: A large faith-based nonprofit combining broadcasting, publishing, and policy advocacy from a US perspective. Overlaps with JHOP DC's Capitol Hill positioning, broadcasting distribution, and publication output.
• Christ For The Nations Institute (CFNI): A large, established evangelical missions training organization based in Dallas with global reach and a publishing arm. It is a broader incumbent in evangelical missions and prayer equipping that encompasses JHOP DC's audience.
• Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ): A large, US-rooted evangelical missions organization with global prayer, teaching, and content operations. Comparable to JHOP DC in mission focus and content publishing at vastly greater scale.

Direct peers

• International House of Prayer (IHOP-KC): The flagship 24/7 prayer-and-worship movement based in Kansas City, founded by Mike Bickle. It is the most directly comparable US house-of-prayer operation to JHOP DC, running continuous prayer, teaching, publishing, and missions from a single geographic anchor.
• Prayer Storm: A coordinated prayer movement focused on strategic and governmental intercession, with regional networks and events. It operates in the same functional space as JHOP DC's Capitol Hill ministry.
• Intercessors for America: A US-based governmental and national prayer network that mobilizes intercession for civic leaders and elections. It overlaps heavily with JHOP DC's governmental-intercession positioning on Capitol Hill.
• 24-7 Prayer: A UK-origin, globally distributed 24/7 prayer movement with prayer rooms and mission initiatives on multiple continents. Its continuous-prayer model, missions focus on unreached peoples, and content publishing make it a natural direct peer.
• Issachar Ministries: A prayer-and-government ministry equipping believers in governmental intercession and watchmen on the walls. Its emphasis on prayer strategies for nations makes it a peer in JHOP DC's specific niche.
• National Day of Prayer Task Force: Organizer of the annual US National Day of Prayer observed from Capitol Hill and across the country. Its function and audience — intercessors praying for government and national matters — closely mirrors JHOP DC's core use case.

Emerging players

• TheCall: Lou Engle's prayer-and-fasting gathering ministry that birthed the original 2004 Capitol Hill stand leading to JHOP DC. It is comparable as a prayer mobilization event brand rather than a permanent ministry structure.
