Fantastic Photos from Child Friendly Prayer Room, Finland  Carla Harding  5th Feb

“We had such a good time decorating that Prayer Room, it was held in a room dedicated to prayer in premises of small local children's day care centre.”  Writes Ella, a Prayer Room co-ordinator in Finland.  “It's a Christian place but most families are not believers, and yet want their children to have Christian education. We decorated the place on Thursday, had an opportunity for kids to come visit on Friday and then held 24-1 from Friday to Saturday… We had only a small group of people but for many of them the Prayer Room was dream come true as it was their first of a kind. Many who where in the Prayer Room had booked only one hour's slot to begin with and then found that it wasn't enough. Now they have already set a date for next month.”

I love how Ella and her team have designed the Prayer Room with Children in mind...

When the Telethons are Over. Praying for Haiti Part 2   Alana Wiens  3rd Feb

The headlines begin to drop down the page.  The telethons are over.  Slowly the latest world disaster fades from our minds.

Two weeks after the Haiti earthquake a conference on the redevelopment of Haiti declared that the process would take decades.  Decades.  That’s long after the spotlight has faded and the clean up crews go home.  Haiti will be rebuilding for a long long time.

How do we pray for the long-term? 

Pray hope for the country - Hope is an easy term to throw around.  The hope that Haiti needs is a sustaining hope that gives them strength for the years to come.

Where Has Prayer Taken You?  Scott Bower  1st Feb

A few years back at one of the international 24-7 Prayer gatherings a friend from Guildford threw out an idea. It was the final day of the weekend, It may even have been the last meeting of that day when the thought was voiced. The idea was/is staggeringly simple: that each day at midday we all pray the Lords Prayer. No matter which time-zone you are in you were invited to consider setting the alarm on your mobile/cell phone and to take a minute or so at lunch time to pray the prayer Jesus gave us, if you were with friends at the time even better!

One of the great things about this simple plan is that we are joining together all over the world and agreeing ‘let your Kingdom come and your will be done.’
And so I’m now wondering just how far this little scheme has gone? how many time-zones are praying at the top of the hour at mid-day?

Also setting your alarm and praying at 12:00 must have led you to pray in some beautiful, crazy, weird and wonderful locations and I’d love to hear and share in those memories. Personally I can remember praying silently outside a hospital ward and out loud as I strolled across a piazza in Assisi. There have been plenty of lovely people I’ve been able to pray with and for too thanks to this simple idea.

Tanzania Prays 24-7  Carla Harding  27th Jan

Tanzania is the first new nation to pray 24-7 in 2010.  It’s amazing to see how the prayer movement is spreading throughout the world.  Tanzania is a beautiful nation, a third of it is the Serengeti national park that attracts thousands of tourists each year.  We gladly welcome Serenity Baptist Church in Kahama to the unbroken chain of night and day prayer and pray that God blesses their Prayer Room with an awareness of His presence this week.

Why not post a prayer for this Church or for the nation of Tanzania in the comments below and bless our brothers and sisters in this part of the world?
