OHOP - Orlando House of Prayer
Carlos and Emily Sarmiento are the Founders and Executive Directors of the Orlando House of Prayer - OHOP.
In 1995, after serving under the leadership of Pastor Benny Hinn, Carlos launched out on his own by starting Reviving This Generation Ministries (RTG). RTG was a revivalistic missions-focused ministry with numerous open doors throughout the US, Canada, the Caribbean Islands, South America and Russia. Thousands were miraculously healed, delivered and saved as Carlos traveled full-time from 1995-2000. In the fall of 1999, the Lord began to place on their hearts that the time had come for the two of them to launch into a different phase of ministry. After much prayer and spiritual counsel, they started a church on the west side of Orlando in Ocoee, Florida.
Living Waters Church (LWC) was birthed on Easter morning of April 2000. The church experienced rapid growth, touching many lives and impacting the community. LWC was only the beginning as the Lord was about to encounter Carlos in a way that would forever change the focus and emphasis of his ministry. As a result of a heavenly encounter that Pastor Carlos had on May 8th, 2005, the Orlando House of Prayer was founded.
Carlos and Emily envisioned a place where 24/7 intercessory prayer and worship would continue night and day, non-stop until the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
They believe their mandate includes a House of Prayer that has continual ministry alongside the continual prayer that is being offered: 24/7 evangelism, 24/7 prayer for the sick, 24/7 prophetic ministry for those who are crying out for deliverance and salvation.
The Sarmiento's have 5 children, all of whom are serving the end-time prayer ministry. Jordan is a student and staff member at the International House of Prayer Kansas City's (IHOP-KC) Forerunner School of Ministry and also plays keyboard in their 24/7 prayer room. Alexia is on staff at IHOP-KC and is married to Matt Gilman who is a worship leader and also on staff at IHOP-KC. Taylor is serving at IHOP-KC. Landon and Sierra both serve in the prayer room at OHOP.

A Note From Mike Bickle, Director IHOP-KC
I highly recommend the ministry of Carlos and Emily Sarmiento. They have been serving with Lord in ministry for over 23 years. His dedication and service to the Lord is remarkable and to be admired.
Carlos is involved with the training of leaders and equipping of short and long term missionaries. They are amazing people as many of you already know. Carlos obviously has unusual leadership abilities as he is serving as Director to the entire OHOP Missions Base as well as the Director of Forerunner School of Ministry, an internship training bible school in The Orlando/Central Florida Area.
His leadership abilities are invaluable in leading intercessory meetings for revival in the USA and other nations. He is a servant with usual faithfulness in ways that are essential to the success of this ministry. God has anointed Carlos to lead the Orlando House Of Prayer and the Forerunner School of Ministry. He is a man whom God has seasoned and prepared through many years for such a time as this.
I recommend this couple as faithful servants of the Lord Jesus and of us, and I invite you to prayerfully consider how you can invest into the commission God has given us to further the Kingdom by supporting them and getting involved with them.

We are blessed to have an amazing team of Intercessory Missionaries. We have about 150 staff members here on the base throughout the week. These pictures are some of our full-timers. Being an Intercessory Missionary is their full time job. They are on the base at least 40 hours a week - 20 hours in the prayer room and 20 hours of service/administration. They all raise their own support. For more information on how you can support an intercessory missionary please email info@orlandohop.org.
