OUR HISTORY

---

 Hill of Prayer Ministries began as a humble yet powerful prayer movement in March 2011, founded by Pastor JC Tshibaka known as (Bishop Tshi-Tshi) in Cape Town, South Africa. Rooted in the Scripture Matthew 6:33—"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"—the ministry was birthed with a vision to transform lives through prayer, intercession, and the Word of God. 

 Our journey started at the foot of Table Mountain, where believers gathered every Saturday for prayer and deliverance sessions. These gatherings became a place of spiritual renewal, healing, and empowerment, laying the foundation for a ministry focused on the transformative power of prayer. As the movement grew, Hill of Prayer Ministries became a beacon of hope for individuals seeking deliverance, restoration, and a deeper connection with God. 

Over the years, the ministry expanded beyond prayer gatherings into a full-fledged church with a mission to raise leaders, disciple believers, and impact communities. Under the leadership of Pastor Tshibaka, Hill of Prayer Ministries developed programs and initiatives focused on leadership development, community outreach, and spiritual growth.

Our commitment to empowering individuals with love, knowledge, and the power of the Holy Spirit has been central to everything we do.

 In October 2023, God expanded our reach as Pastor JC Tshibaka relocated to Ottawa, Canada, bringing the vision of Hill of Prayer Ministries to a new country. This marked a significant milestone in our journey, as we embraced the call to impact lives across borders. Our ministry in Canada continues to reflect the same core values—prayer, discipleship, leadership, and community transformation. 

 Today, Hill of Prayer Ministries operates with a global vision, serving communities in Cape Town and Ottawa while remaining steadfast in our commitment to God’s Word. Through prayer gatherings, Spirit-filled worship, leadership training, and community outreach, we are making an eternal impact, one life at a time. 

 As we move forward, we remain faithful to our mission to seek first God’s kingdom and empower individuals to live in righteousness and fulfill their God-given purposes. The journey of Hill of Prayer Ministries is a testament to God’s faithfulness and the power of prayer, and we are excited to see how He continues to use this ministry to transform lives and advance His kingdom.
