Altar & Future Leaders Network
Building the Next Generation of Prayer-Filled Leadership
The Altar & Future Leaders Network is a vital part of the Jericho Prayer Movement, led by Coordinator Pastor Derwin Brown, dedicated to empowering those who are called to lead through prayer, service, and community transformation.
This network brings together Neighborhood Altar Leaders—those who faithfully steward prayer gatherings in their communities—and Future Leaders who are being equipped to rise in spiritual leadership, mentorship, and community impact. Together, they represent the heartbeat of the Jericho Prayer Movement: faith in action, unity in purpose, and transformation through prayer.

Spiritual Formation: Strengthening faith through teaching, mentorship, and corporate prayer.

The Sound of Worship
Date: Saturday, October 4, 2025
Focus Verse of the Month
Psalm 20:5 (NIV)
“May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.”
Worship & Intercession Across the Region
This month, JPM worshipers gathered at strategic altars across the Capitol Region and Tennessee, raising the banner of victory through worship, intercessory prayer, and prophetic declaration. Together, we released God’s presence into neighborhoods, cities, and the nation.
At the Martin Luther King Jr. Altar, the “sound of worship” became a powerful witness. As songs of victory filled the air, an unexpected sign occurred — a fox appeared on the stone wall but could not cross into the altar space, fleeing from the sound of worship. A nearby bystander, drawn by the music, joined the gathering, saying, “I heard the sound and had to come over.” God opened doors for spontaneous ministry and divine encounters at the monument.
Songs of Worship Included:
All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name
Victory Is Mine
Victory in Jesus
Hallelujah, You Have Won the Victory
Prayer Points & Declarations
The Neighborhoods
Leaders exercised priestly authority to invite and release God’s presence, declaring victory, restoration, peace, and salvation throughout communities—believing that transformation would overflow into the nation.
The Body of Christ
Prayers focused on awakening the Church to repentance, righteousness, and revival. The call went forth for the Body of Christ to model humility, unity, and love, countering division, pride, and violence in our land.
The Fatherless & Now Generation
Standing on Malachi 4:6, prayers rose for the hearts of fathers and children to be reconciled. Declarations went forth to break generational cycles of fatherlessness and affirm that young people will walk boldly in their Christ-centered identity and purpose.
The Combined Fellowship of Altars: Set on Fire
JPM worshipers came together from multiple altars, bringing the fire of revival and declaring victory for what the Lord has done. The gathering overflowed with spontaneous dancing, anointed testimonies, powerful prayer, and joyful praise—a true time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord!
