Who we are:

Since 2005 we have helped develop and replicate models that work including Street Angels, Club Angels, Festival Angels, Community Angels, Chaplaincy and more. Each of our local projects is locally managed and driven with ROC Angels offering support, resources, a listening ear and promoting and celebrating all that you achieve.

Our vision:

A House of Light on every street in the UK PRAYING for, CARING for, SHARING Jesus with neighbours and 5 new disciples on each street.

Who we are:

A House of Light is an individual Christian or household who takes spiritual responsibility for the street where they live. Formerly Neighbourhood Prayer Network, we changed our name to Houses of Light on 3rd September 2025.

Every week we send out a newsletter with prayer, care and share suggestions often tying in with other national campaigns—but focused at street level. We have testimonies of the lonely finding friendships, healings in answer to prayer and people believing in Jesus for the first time.

How we can serve the local church:

All Christians are called to be salt and light where they live. It costs churches nothing and can mould to the local vision of the church. We produce resources such as prayer request cards, prayer walking guides, and discipleship materials that are free, downloadable and fully designed.
