We are all called as followers of Jesus to love our neighbors. My neighbors just happened to
be prostitutes, drug addicts, drug dealers and members of the Mexican mafia. - Kelly (Mexico)

2000 years ago the Holy Spirit propelled disciples out of a 24-7 prayer room to proclaim the gospel in the streets of Jerusalem. Nothing much has changed.

Today 24-7 Prayer Rooms are still galvanizing ordinary people to take God’s love to the poor and the lost, to lead people to Christ and even to plant churches.

There are so many stories to tell, but here are just four examples of the way that 24-7 Mission is impacting lives all around the world:

Kansas City, United States: The KC Boiler Room community is led by Adam and Julie Cox (left). Marked by passionate bible teaching, this young church grew significantly in 2009 with many new people entering into the Way of Jesus and their first missionaries were sent out to help establish a new community in Boston. The national Campus America initiative is based out of the community’s downtown, multi-story warehouse space.

 

Ibiza, Spain: Brian Heasley (left) with his family and team continue to pioneer this remarkable mission to Europe’s biggest party island. They pray, hand out bibles, operate an emergency vehicle to rescue those who are dangerously drunk or drugged, and run a popular 24-7 Centre for prayer and hospitality in downtown San Antonio.

 

 

Reynosa, Mexico: For five years Kelly Tietsort loved and served the men and women of Boys Town, a walled-in village of drug addiction and prostitution in the Mexican border town of Reynosa. An eruption of mafia violence has recently forced the 24-7 team to evacuate their purpose-built rehabilitation center until further notice.

 

 

Skopje, Macedonia: Tattoo artist Alpin Pop-Nikolov (left) and a group of his friends planted Glasnost, the first youth church in the capital city of this divided Bible land in 2004. ‘As a 24-7 community we seek to live out the Boiler Room values,’ he says. ‘Our vision is to plant communities all around Macedonia and the Balkan region’.

 

 

 

The multiplication of long-term Houses of Prayer and missional communities has been remarkable and it is a trend we expect to increase significantly in the coming years:

  • The global priority for all our 24-7 communities is Europe, which we consider to be the darkest and most urgent mission field of our time.
  • Our strategy for North America and Europe involves establishing churches which can act as resource centres for sending, training, and equipping new missional communities.
  • All 24-7 communities have a particular passion to reach out to people who are poor and oppressed. This is outworked in many ways locally and networked together by our Just24-7 service which supports good practice in action for the poor.
