2000–2010: Celebrating a Decade of Answered Prayer

2010–2020: Mobilising the Church to Change the World

We’re looking back and celebrating, but we’re also looking forward and anticipating the exciting possibilities for the next ten years of 24-7 Prayer. What amazing things might God do by the year 2020, if we keep praying and obeying the way we are now? - Pete Greig, Co-Founder 24-7 Prayer

This is a pivotal moment in the growth of the 24-7 movement. After an extraordinary decade of non-stop prayer, mission and justice initiatives, the 2020 Vision is both a celebration, to thank those of you who’ve supported us thus far, and also a warm invitation for new friends to partner with us on the next leg of the journey, as our vision expands.

From a single, unsuspecting prayer meeting in Chichester, England, we’ve grown to touch half the nations on earth. More than two million people – mostly young people – have now heard this simple call to prayer, and along the way an expanding network of new ministries and missional communities has been born. It’s been a wild ride by any standard, and now we know it’s time to grow up, get organized, and focus our energies on three essential biblical priorities:

  • Prioritising Prayer - We are blessed with prayer rooms all over the world so we’re going to continue to catalyze, connect and resource focused intercession in churches, on campuses and across cities. We’re not backing off, because we know that prayer is where all true transformation begins and ends.
  • Mobilising Mission - We are also blessed with a growing network of Boiler Room communities around the world, so we’re going to build a few of these into Resource Centers that can plant hundreds of other missional communities for the sake of the poor and for those who don’t know Jesus. Our passion is for justice and our particular focus remains Europe, the darkest continent on earth.
  • Training Leaders -  We are blessed with an emerging network of gifted, young leaders so we’re going to equip them to pioneer in every field of society. We’ll do this by mentoring one-on-one, establishing an international college and by nurturing a radical, risk-taking attitude to releasing talent.

As we enter this second decade of 24-7 Prayer we’re raising our sights and preparing to impact cities, cultures and even nations with this life-changing power of Christ-centered, mission-minded prayer. It’s a big vision and we’re going to need your help to achieve it.

Over the next few pages you'll read about some of our plans for the next 10 years. With excitement, as well as a sense of sobering responsibility, we're dreaming big dreams for the future and we need your support to see them become reality. We need your prayers, we need you to champion prayer, mission and justice where you are, we need you to get involved, we need your skills and we need you to partner with us.

In order for 24-7 Prayer to train leaders, mobilise mission and release prayer that will change the world, we need to increase our income by 73%, that's a lot of money! Which is why we are asking you to consider giving monthly to 24-7 Prayer. Even 10 dollars, Pounds, or Euros given regularly will make an awful lot of difference and bring us closer to achieving these God Given priorities. This is why on each of the 2020 Vision pages you'll  see our 'Donate' button feature fairly regularly (like the one below). As you read on consider whether God is calling you to join us in this 2020 Vision, click through to the donate page and find out what partnering with us means or use the contact details below if you've got questions.

C'mon let's change the world!!
