Ebenezer Murengezi was born in Rwanda. He is married with 5 children.

​

A former refugee for 22+ years in 4 different countries, he has acquired multiple languages (French, Swahili, English, Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Kikuyu) and survival skills.

​

Through all things, his faith in Jesus has grown and allowed him to overcome genocide and war trauma. He uses his experience to help the community heal, drawing all people to God. 

​

His love for prayer began, at age 6 at the start of the war. Prayer become a matter of survival. Through miracles from answered prayers, God showed himself to him and his family and learnt to live only through prayer. 

He believes that one can NOT achieve intimacy with God without a life centered on prayer. Simply put prayer is everything John 15 talks about. 

In 2017 God gave him a vision to reach 20 Millions souls for Christ, and it was until 2020 that God made it plainly that this vision is to be accomplished through prayer. He since moved from from Virginia to Maryland at the Prayer Center to initiate and pioneer this work of intercession for USA and Nations.  

In addition, he is also a senior pastor at Crossway Christian Church in Spencerville MD, where he is leading a vision of Saturating Maryland with Churches. All to God be the glory! Amen.

Akram Hadeed joined forces with TWPC in April, 2022 and is enjoying every minute of it. It's been a beautiful and amazing journey of mutual encouragement and collaboration. The vision of Streets of Prayer found a physical home at TWPC. He knows that God is able to do exceedingly more than he can ask or imagine. So he can't wait to see how this all will unfold.
