Meet our dear friends

Rick & Patricia Ridings

Rick and Patricia Ridings are globally recognized leaders in the prayer and worship movement and the visionary founders of Succat Hallel in Jerusalem. After serving for 13 years in Belgium, they relocated their family to Israel, where they began hosting daily prayer in their living room in 1999. Driven by a divine calling to establish 24/7 worship in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David, their ministry officially launched in February 2000 and has since grown into a continuous global beacon of intercession. 

They have ministered in over 40 nations, sharing their insights on major networks such as GOD TV, TBN, and CBN. Rick and Patricia are widely celebrated as spiritual parents to houses of prayer across the Middle East. They are deeply passionate about training the next generation, fostering cross-cultural unity among Jewish, Arab, and Palestinian youth. Through their book, Shifting Nations Through Houses of Prayer, they continue to equip believers worldwide to build strong, localized altars of prayer that intentionally shape the spiritual and political landscapes of their communities.

Succat Hallel

Succat Hallel (Hebrew for "Tent of Praise") is a prominent, dynamic Christian house of prayer and worship located just south of the Old City of Jerusalem, featuring facility windows that directly overlook Mount Zion and the Temple Mount. Founded in 1999 by Rick and Patricia Ridings, the ministry operates as a 24/7 hub where believers from five continents gather to act as "watchmen on the walls" through unceasing intercession and praise. Rooted deeply in a biblical vision to restore the Tabernacle of David, the community cries out continually for global revival, the peace of Jerusalem, and regional breakthrough across the Middle East. Beyond its round-the-clock prayer watches, the ministry is highly regarded for its humanitarian initiatives and its dedicated youth training programs, which actively foster cross-cultural reconciliation by regularly bringing together hundreds of Jewish, Arab, and international young people.

Declaration

O Lord today and every day,

according to the measure of Your infinite mercy and grace:

May Your hedge of protection be around us, the blood of Yeshua (Jesus)

be over us, the whole armour of God be upon us and as our days, so shall our strength be.

Please cleanse us from any sin, unrighteousness, iniquity, idolatry, deception, or denial.

I pray that no weapon formed against us shall prosper or succeed, no witchcraft, no curses, no judgments, no evil speaking, no demonic assignment, and no ‘snare of the fowler’.

Please protect us today from confusion, harassment, and division.

Protect us from spiritual, mental, emotional, or physical fatigue,

injury or illness.

I pray that no evil or unwise counsel of the world, the flesh, or the devil will prevail against us.

Thank You for protecting us today spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, in our finances, and our relationships.

May Your Holy Spirit, holy Word, and holy angels be released to us to help us walk humbly with You in faith, hope, love, holiness, justice, wisdom, and the fear of the Lord.

Amen
