The Prayer House

The Prayer House is a former abandoned used car lot shack located at 700 Scenic Highway in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This is the place where Bishop Pate began full-time ministry by preaching to 50 empty chairs outside on the grounds of the car lot.

Four times Bishop Pate has shut himself in The Prayer House to focus on hearing from God to serve His people:

1994 to 1995 for 7 1/2 months. During the first 40 days, the LORD spoke to him to pray over olive oil and to distribute this Holy Anointed Oil free of charge all over the world. It was also during that time the Lord gave him the Grace Agreement. Highlights included Evangelist Billy Graham calling him to pray as well as the President of the United States.

2002 for 4 months to identify with the pain and suffering of the elderly who have no one to care for them.

2014 at the North Harrell’s Ferry Rd church location where he personally received over 5000 telephone calls and did not leave the church grounds for 11 1/2 months. In 2016, that facility was lost in the flood and the church relocated to 5686 Winbourne Ave.

Since May 8, 2023, Brother Pate has been in the Prayer House and available 24/7 to meet with Pastors, community leaders, families, young people and others who travel from foreign places to both visit and pray with him. People from all walks of life are convicted to pray more and to help distribute the Holy Anointed Oil. Baton Rouge is coming together to seek God to take murder off the streets and to remove fear out of the hearts of His people. Together we are working to get 80,000 more bottles of the Oil to the people.
