The Purple Pig and Other Miracles

In the 1960s and 1970s, a powerful movement of prayer was initiated by Dick and Dee Eastman, who dedicated themselves to establishing a house of prayer in Sacramento. Their vision was to create a space where young individuals could devote a year of their lives to intercede for the salvation of souls. This fervent prayer movement birthed a root of prayer that has since grown into a global phenomenon. Today, the impact of their prayers can be seen through the organization Every Home for Christ (EHC), which has successfully reached 205 nations around the world. Through their tireless efforts, over 75 million individuals have made the life-changing decision to follow Jesus Christ.
