Behind the name
Traditionally, a Hook & Ladder Company is a name to describe a group of firefighters at a firehouse. Firefighters are first responders who strategically work together to intervene in crisis situations. They are known for their bravery, honor, strength, and sacrifice. These qualities are exemplified in the firefighters’ leadership code called First In Last Out.
Likened to firefighters, intercessors are first responders through prayer. Anchored in the Word of God and the Kingdom’s culture of honor, intercessors sacrificially offer themselves to stand in that interceding gap between people’s need and God’s heart to intervene. They faithfully contend for God’s saving mercy and for His promises to be fulfilled.
We are the Hook & Ladder Prayer Company.

"Your rod and Your staff they comfort me."

The hook is like the Shepherd's rod to save and guide and also like Moses' staff to move in miracles, signs and wonders to accompany deliverance.
