Megan is passionate about helping people connect to God, especially through creativity and the arts. As part of her role with GOHOP she co-leads Asah: Art and Prayer Studio. She has led weekly prayer at her local church and shared the preaching ministry at several churches, including St. Clair Community Church and Valley Community Church in Vineland. She also engages in artistic ministry, offering music at Living Rock Chapel and visual art at the Kingdom Builders Forum. Additionally, she has supported two CBWOQ women’s retreats by creating an interactive prayer room for one and providing devotional content to encourage spiritual reflection for the other.

Pastor Abraham Madrandele, a valued staff member at GOHOP, brings a deep sense of care, faith, and joy to everything he does. Whether he’s praying for individuals, leading our monthly Moving Mountains prayer gathering, or simply welcoming someone into the room, his presence is marked by warmth and compassion. Abraham also teaches and ministers widely, both locally and internationally, discipling young adults and encouraging them to follow Jesus with boldness and wholehearted devotion. Each year, he spends three months in Europe teaching, preaching and mentoring young men and women of faith. His life of prayer, humility, and deep trust in God continues to inspire all who walk alongside him.

Randy expresses his ministry through music, art, and storytelling, often weaving prayer and mental health into his creative work. He serves weekly at The Meeting Place church, leading music and offering monthly reflections on spiritual practices. His summer and fall Art Booth at the monthly Art Crawls spark meaningful conversations. He released a book called Looking for Kindness Amidst Anxiety. Randy also produces music under the name Old Reverend Randell, including the collaborative song “Mama Bear” and a lyric video for “It Just Ain’t the Lord,” while participating in numerous events like benefit concerts, workshops, church services, and house shows.

Phyllis is deeply committed to intercessory prayer both locally and nationally. She is an active member of the prayer team at Flamborough Christian Fellowship and helps coordinate the monthly Waterdown Prayer Net, bringing together believers from different churches to pray for the community. Beyond her prayer ministry, she volunteers with the Red Cross, delivering Meals on Wheels to those in need. She also joins in broader prayer movements like Battle for Canada, contributing to intercession across the nation.

Ian brings a heart for equipping others and a passion for helping people encounter God through prayer. He and his family have been part of the GOHOP community for several years. Ian has preaches on prayer in various churches across Hamilton and leads breakout sessions at local conferences like the TrueCity Conference and the Rooted Conference with Safe Families. He also engages with university, college, and high school students—offering teaching, leading prayer experiences, and helping young people grow in their understanding and appreciation of prayer. Whether welcoming youth groups to the prayer room or connecting with people one-on-one, Ian loves to walk alongside others in their journey of learning to pray.
