A couple in their 80s became Christians. He is blind, they’re totally illiterate and very poor, but they immediately volunteered to pray and continued, loudly, for the whole hour. (Brazil)

Over the last ten years we have tracked 7,000 Prayer Rooms in more than 100 countries. The role of the International Prayer Team is to actively support and connect each Prayer Room with the global movement and, where possible, with a national office. Last year the 24-7 movement expanded into ten new nations: Albania, Angola, Dominica, Iceland, Jamaica, Kyrgyzstan, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Turkey and Togo.

I have the best job in the world; hearing so many stories of answered prayer sometimes moves me to tears. People sometimes wonder what difference prayer makes but this brochure could be filled many times over with all the wonderful testimonies from last year alone. Here are just four examples:

Albania: “I invited my friend to have a look at the Prayer Room and after ten minutes she signed herself up for an hour. The next day, she accepted Jesus.” (February)

Philippines: “God changed my character... The more I prayed the more I got convicted by God’s Word about holiness, righteousness and justice.” (February)

Scotland: “Ayr and Glasgow Royal hospitals gave confirmation of a cancerous tumour prior to Paula’s operation... Nearly three weeks later there is no cancer... This has amazed the surgeon, an expert in his field. I am humbled beyond belief at the enormity of what has happened and is happening.” (June)

Russia: “On Sunday a 19-year-old came to our church meeting and I invited him to look at our Prayer Room. The Holy Spirit touched him, and I led him to Christ.” (June)

As the prayer movement continues to spread, we are expanding our commitment to local churches, university campuses, citywide initiatives, denominational partnerships and to developing resources for new nations. In particular, our emphasis on youth and the emerging culture continues with significant new initiatives for schools across the UK and university students in North America including:

  • UK Schools - where we are currently piloting 24-7 Prayer Rooms in class rooms with remarkable results.
  • North American students – our Campus America project aims to place a 24-7 Prayer Room on every university, college and seminary campus in America this year.
  • We are also partnering with others to facilitate entire years of 24-7 prayer in Scotland, Canada and Australia.
