Our
Ministry
Pray First Mission Ministries was founded in 2010 by Apostle Joan and Pastor Ed Henderson in their living room in Hampton, VA. After a decade of dedicated service the Hendersons turned over leadership of Pray First to Pastors Lathaniel and Mar’keta Kirts.
At Pray First we work together to serve our church and the community, while advancing the Kingdom of Jesus. We are a multicultural, multigenerational, prophetic church. Our five-fold ministry equips believers to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ in a relevant and transformative way.
Join us Sundays at 10 AM and the 2nd Wednesdays at 6:30 PM at 618 Dresden Drive Newport News, VA.
OUR MISSION
Prepare the saints for the Lord's Service (Ephesians 4:11-12).
Give an answer to everyone for the hope in us (1 Peter 3:15).
Affirmation for 2025
I boldly and faithfully declare that 2025 is the Year of Harvest.
This year, we will witness God's abundant provision, restoration and multiplication in every area of our lives.
A Harvest will come as we walk in obedience according to 2nd Chronicles 20:25. The seeds we have sown will yield a harvest greater than we can imagine.
Joel 2:25 reminds us that God is repaying what was lost and blessing us to reap in fields we did not plant because God has already claimed the victory for us.
Because I have Christ on my side, I will see supernatural healing, generational wealth, uncommon favor and sudden breaks in my family and my future. It’s Harvest Time.
This Year of Harvest will rest upon me, my household, my church family, and my spiritual leadership in the name of Jesus.
