Forty key catalysts within the 24-7 Prayer movement gathered in the historic German village of Herrnhut from all over the world at what was the most multinational 24-7 gathering to date. People travelled from the UK, Sweden, the USA, South Africa, Portugal, Canada, Spain, Germany, France, New Zealand, Switzerland, Finland, Ireland, Australia, Macedonia and Mexico.

The leaders had specifically asked us to pray for them at this year's Round Table as they would discuss major opportunities of the community at this time. The weekend was a major success relationally and for 24-7 as a movement.

Round Table was staged in the humble village of Herrnhut where Moravian Christians prayed 24/7 for more than 100 years beginning in 1727 under the leadership of Count Zinzendorf. A visit to Herrnhut in 1999 inspired Pete Greig to attempt the first non-stop prayer room  in England which would spread unexpectedly into 63 nations and give rise to the 24-7 movement.
 
After the Round Table several hundred of the 24-7 community convened in Dresden for the annual 24-7 International Leaders Gathering. Speakers included: Dr. Christian Fuhrer who mobilised masses to pray down Communism in the former GDR, Joe Steinke who leads the Mad City Training Community (USA), Pete Greig (UK) and Joyce Heron who ministers with the poor in Vancouver.
 
The annual gathering was called the Round Table by inspiration of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. It is rumored that King Arthur's actual round table bore the following inscription: "In serving one another, we become free."
