Prayer Mountain for the Nations

Prayer Mountain

People can pray on the Prayer Mountain 24/7. You are so welcome to come here and pray with us in Lüdenscheid, Germany!

A warm Welcome!

Welcome to Prayer Mountain for the Nations in Lüdenscheid, Germany! 
In recent decades we have seen a flood of new prayer mountains and prayer houses being founded across the world. These are places where people from different denominations and nations gather together to pray for revival, evangelism, and missions - many are even dedicated to establish  24/7 prayer, just like the Moravians. We are connected with many of these national and international prayer movements.

In Lüdenscheid, we too have seen thousands of visitors from all over the world come to the Prayer Mountain to encounter God, worship him and pray. In God’s presence, many experienced the miracle-working power of the Holy Spirit - such as renewal of their faith, receiving their calling, as well as healing and deliverance. 
You are very welcome to come and experience the same thing. You can register here, or just drop by.

(Walter Heidenreich)

God's Heartbeat for Nations

In this place I experienced for the first time how God broke my heart for a nation. He showed me that His heart burns for Germany and at the same time it is in pain for this nation. He wants his children to come home. It touched my heart so deeply that it brought me to tears. The verse that says „the Spirit groans through us“ (Rom. 8:26) became a reality to me. No prayer or words came to me for what I felt. After this, I knew why it is so important that we proclaim the gospel wherever we go.

(Michelle Wüthrich)

Powerful Family Experience

Being parents of a large family without any worries? Almost impossible! We used to listen to a song with the children, "Forget your worries and don't worry! Pack them into a pot! Then run to Jesus, he's already waiting for you!" One time, with a pot full of worries, we spent time in the prayer house and literally applied the words of this song. We thanked Jesus for everything we had, worshipped him and surrendered a real 'pot of worries’ to him. After that, we cheered, because instead of worries, Jesus gave us joy and lightness.

(Diane Uppmann)

Extraordinary times with the Lord

We are so glad that you are friends of ours! On Prayer Mountain, time and time again we have experienced extraordinary times with the Lord!
This is the 7th time you have given us the opportunity to experience the presence of God in this wonderful place. Every time God speaks to us in a special way.

(Rabbi Rodion and Tatiana with their church from Cologne)

The Holy Spirit’s Fire and Flame!

When I arrived on Prayer Mountain in the summer of 2015, it was a dream come true for me. My regular visits to the mountain have brought about a steady spiritual development and blessing in our church in Düsseldorf. Every time I set foot on the mountain, I want to remain in this wonderful Father-child embrace. There I talk to God from heart to heart, especially during the quiet hours of the night.

(Pastor David Nwankpa, Mission Coordinator of the Assemblies of God Europe)

Is Prayer Mountain handicapped accessible?

It is possible to avoid using the steps and smooth paths can be used instead, but it is good to take the steep incline/gradient into account in certain places. The prayer house and the REVIVAL SCHOOL are easily accessible, but the mountain is not specifically designed to be barrier-free! The prayer path and the plateau consist of gravel paths and grassy areas.

What is the idea behind Prayer Mountain?

God showed Walter Heidenreich a vision in the 1980s: he saw the Prayer Mountain – with buildings and everything else around it. It was literally swarming with young people. Then a huge map of the world came down from the sky. The young people formed into small teams, set off and disappeared into the map. 
(Read more about this in "When dreams come true", Walter Heidenreich, p. 94)

This vision is the foundation of the overall mission that we have at Prayer Mountain for the Nations with the house of prayer, the REVIVAL SCHOOL and the HELP International (international missions branch). Our hearts burn for the nations to be brought before the throne of God through prayer and mission. Therefore, you are also very welcome. The prayer house is not only our house, it is also your house! It is the prayer house for the nations!

How long has the prayer house been operating?

Prayer Mountain was established in the year 2000. The prayer path was added in 2003 and the prayer house was inaugurated in 2005.
