Will Ford is the Director of the Marketplace Leadership Major at Christ For The Nations Institute and is the co-founder of 818 The Sign. Many know him internationally, however, for his family heirloom passed down through history and its connection to slavery and prayer for freedom. As a leader in the prayer movement, Will uses this “prayer bowl” as a catalyst for mobilizing prayer and teaching about intercession, revival, and societal transformation. He believes the prayers of a godly remnant of all races—revivalists and abolitionists—brought revival to America and ultimately ended slavery. Receiving their mantle from yesterday, Will is actively training a new generation to release justice to the most marginalized today. Will is a father of four. He and his wife Dehavilland reside in Dallas, TX.

Matt Lockett is the Executive Director of the Justice House of Prayer DC, located on Capitol Hill in Washington. From the governmental gate of the nation, Matt leads prayer and intercession that appeals to a holy hill higher than Capitol Hill—to a heavenly court above the Supreme Court. Matt and his wife Kim have four children. They have served as full-time missionaries in the nation’s capital since just after the founding of JHOP DC in 2004. Matt’s passion is to help father a young, consecrated generation that will usher justice into the earth. Matt travels and speaks on the topics of prayer, fasting, governmental intercession, and racial reconciliation. Matt also oversees Bound4LIFE, a pro-life prayer movement universally recognized by iconic red tape worn over the mouth with the word “LIFE” handwritten on it. “It’s not a protest. It’s a prayer meeting.”
