My name is Kathrin Weigelt and I am a prayer missionary. I was born in 1978 and am a native of Thuringia.
My heart beats for the closeness to God, for praise & worship and for revival in Erfurt.
I am founding an interdenominational house of prayer in the capital of Thuringia.
“We have very different gifts, just as God has given us in his grace…” – Romans 12:6a
My heart beat for singing and music from an early age. This was reflected in my full-time work as an elementary school music teacher for about 15 years, my part-time work as a musician (solo and band projects) for about 5 years, and my volunteer work in gospel choirs for more than 20 years.
In the process, I gained just as much leadership experience.
“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” – John 4:24
In 2015 I came to know God personally, in 2017 He called me to praise & worship ministry. First as part of a worship team of a Pentecostal church in Erfurt, later as a team leader and finally as an area leader, I served God as a worshiper and continued to train several teams in church until the summer of 2022.
“For my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” – Isaiah 56:7
In all these years prayer & intercession had become more and more important to me.
In 2020 I was able to do a voluntary service at the House of Prayer in Augsburg and thus get to know the field of activity of prayer missionaries. There God showed me His heart for Erfurt and how much He longs for a place for passionate praise, worship and prayer to come forth. So He called me to found an interdenominational house of prayer in the capital of Thuringia.
This calling makes me a Globe missionary today:
As a full-time missionary I realize the foundation of the House of Prayer in Erfurt.
“…He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many people will hear it; they will respect the LORD again and trust him anew.” – Psalm 40:4
Again and again God inspires new praise and worship songs:
Abundance from many hours of praise and glory to Him, the Most High.
The songs are available through SongSelect. Selected songs will be posted on YouTube.
Houses of prayer – places of longing
Would you like to learn more about the House of Prayer movement and the work of houses of prayer?
Then I recommend you my article of the same name, published in issue 202 of Charisma Magazine (4th quarter 2022).
You can download it here.
The House of Prayer Erfurt exists because God as Father, Son & Holy Spirit is WORTHY to be worshipped.
It offers believers in Jesus of all denominations a place to glorify God in unity, to take spiritual responsibility in intercession.
Where they grow in fellowship with God and with each other in praise & prayer.
So that Erfurt & Thuringia can change positively through God’s work and His Kingdom can come.
A place of God’s presence in Erfurt: A house of prayer.
“Without God’s instruction a people becomes unrestrained; but it flourishes when it follows God’s command!” says Proverbs 29:18.
The percentage of Christians in Germany is about 50% of the population. Those who actively live their faith are only about 1.6%. In Thuringia, these percentages are even lower, and the trend is downward (see fowid study from 2021).
Many people do not know the almighty and merciful God personally. They live in fear of the future.
Yet Romans 10:13 says, “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
“… and they call to Me, then I will hear their prayer in heaven. If this people who bear My name submit to Me in humility, turn from their wrong ways and ask for Me, then I will forgive them and heal their afflicted land.” – 2 Chronicles 7:14
Because so many do not know God, Erfurt suffers from serious problems: Human trafficking, forced prostitution, drug trafficking & use, crime, violence, genderism, depression and many more. All sectors of society are affected. This is what God wants to transform and restore. Therefore, it is also our intercessory mission to “seek the best of the city” as it says in Jeremiah 29:7, so that injustice is overcome and darkness is pushed back.
“Then said Jesus, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” – John 8:12
We believe that God will bring forth an awakened church in Thuringia, as well as change the city & region for the best. As co-workers in His divine plan, we actively support this. This happens by joining in worship and prayer as His people. So that “His Kingdom comes and His will be done!” – Matthew 6:10
