BRAD STROUP
Director, The Prayer Room Missions Base
Brad and his wife Amy are happily married and reside in Arlington, Texas with their daughters Jaci and Gabby. He first felt called into ministry in 1999 and since then has served in several staff roles at local churches, spent some time doing missions in the Muslim world as well as local church planting. In 2005 the Lord gave him the clearest prophetic word that he has ever received calling him to begin holding daily prayer meetings. A small group of 20 year olds began the next morning at 5am in his living room and Brad now serves as the director of The Prayer Room Missions Base which emerged out of those early morning prayer meetings which are still held seven days a week to this day. He has a passion for the Lord’s purposes in this generation and feels called to encourage the Church and help strengthen Her in prayer initiatives at every stage.

Cheryl Allen
Director, Pasadena IHOP
Cheryl Allen is the Director of the Pasadena International House of Prayer and over the years she has learned the power of prayer, not only in her personal life, but also in interceding for the lives of others. She was involved in helping to church plant Vineyard Christian Fellowship - Los Angeles. As a member of the church planting team for a year, Cheryl saw the importance of prayer in both building organizational foundations as well as building loving and strong team dynamics. In 2001, Cheryl was hired part-time by Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena to pray. Her main job description was to pray - for the staff, their families, their decisions, the church life, the upcoming programs and events, etc. She also organized and coordinated prayer meetings, as well as mentored and cultivated prayer in individual lives. Cheryl became the Director of the Pasadena International House of Prayer (PIHOP), an offspring of the ministry she led at Harvest Rock Church. She continues to lead and pioneer this 24-hour worship and prayer community where she leads seminars and classes on prayer and biblical studies.
