My name is Alyssa Kohler and I am an intercessory missionary at the Rock House of Prayer in Roseville, California. To read my testimony, click here.
Why do you blog?
I blog because I want to provide a way for Christians who are unfamiliar with a prayer room to understand why we exist.
What’s a prayer room all about?
In 1 Chronicles 15- 17, God told David to build a tabernacle of 288 singers and 4,000 musicians who ministered to the Lord 24/7 (the Tabernacle of David). God never told us to stop that fire of prayer and worship and today He has risen up a movement of prayer rooms full of intercessors, singers, and musicians to minister before Him night and day (read more here).
Why a prayer room?
First of all, I love the idea of a prayer room. In the past, the intercessors have been the few, burnt out, crazy ones. I sit in a room every night with 20 young, fresh faces who have dedicated their lives to prayer. Community is essential to sustaining prayer for years – we simply need each other.
How can I keep in touch with you?
If you want to be notified every time I post, just subscribe to my RSS feed. (Don’t know what an RSS Feed Reader is? Here’s a short, entertaining video that explains it: RSS in Plain English.)

Why do you need support?
I know that I am called to be in a prayer room right now. The practical end is, if I don’t get support, I have to get outside work that pulls me out of the prayer room (what I’m called to). What do you gain from supporting me? Paul told the Philippians that he was glad they supported him not because he gained from it, but because they did (Phil. 4:15-17).

Lyssie, i love this…ive just been introduced to the wordpress world and am amazed at how developed it is. love this and love your thoughts.
My wife and I are both in full time ministry, and make very little money; but we do make money. Starting pay where I work is $5,000 a year, well below the poverty line in the United States. The ministry provides us with necessities like housing, lights, food; the basics. If you’re in the prayer room from 9pm to 4am, why can you not also work another job, even part time, to support yourself? I understand fully relying on God, I promise I do. But you have to eat. The New Testament is clear about financially supporting those in full time ministry. It’s not about getting rich, but those being ministered to are taught to support those ministering. Always make sure it’s about God’s will, and not about “look how pious I am.” If you’re in the center of God’s will, he will provide his way.
Prayer is of utmost importance. It is our life line to our Savior and the portal to the heavenly way. I have written a series of posts on the tenets of “the Lord’s Prayer,” which I call “The Blueprint” for the building of God’s house, the church, His body. I think it will be a blessing to you.
Continue on in faith, daughter of God, for that is His purpose, to make His children into princes and princesses of God to rule with Him in His throne in His soon coming kingdom.
Hope to see you out there on “Immortality Road.”
