Every city was established with a purpose and a destiny to fulfill.
The city of Haverhill/Bradford, Massachusetts once impacted the nation and the nations of the world, we have a rich heritage.
The American Board of Missions was founded here in Bradford and the monument is located on the Bradford Common where the first missionaries, Adonirim Judson and his wife Ann (Hasseltine) were commisioned and sent out from Salem, Mass. for Burma, India.
Ann Haseltine's father was one of the founding members of the Bradford New England school for girls. The school evolved from a middle school for girls into a liberal arts college that attracted students from all over the world. In the later years until it's closing in 2000 it had become a place of liberal humanism. But God's intended destiny is being restored through prayer. On September 17, 2007 the property was purchased by a billionaire and donated to Zion Bible College which will be moving to the campus for fall classes 2008.
During the season of the school being known for sending missionaries and training students for the ministry over 400 of the women married pastors and 40 were sent as missionaries to the uttermost. (quote from Jean S. Poore, Bradford a New England School)
Haverhill once led the nation in the industry of shoes and had the highest rate of millionaires per capita in the nation. We were known as a people that fought against injustice. From 143 Winter St. property Susan B. Anthony, John Adams and others collected signatures for a petition opposing the slavery act. The news paper headlines...."Haverhill impacts the Nation"
It is time for the body of Christ in the city of Haverhill to humble themselves and come together in one place, in one accord and seek for the restoration of our destiny. Haverhill will once again be a city that impacts the nations!
The House of Prayer is for the body of Christ which is found in ALL denominations who profess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Please come and join us as we dedicate the 19 Franklin St. space and make ourselves available to pray and seek the Lord for our city, families, schools, government, churches as well as the state and nation.
