What is Just 24-7?

Just 24-7 right now is simply a collection of friends seeking to help our movement get hold of issues of social justice.

Our primary drive is prayer - what part can prayer play in the transformation of our world? How can we fuel prayer? What is it God wants to say to us?

These pages seek to help you pray, and to connect with others around the 24-7 family who are looking to do the same.

"For I call you...

...to find the Sons of Thunder. I call you to find those who will marry social justice with prayer......I am going to open a unique arm of this ministry that is a different place than you’ve known; it’s going to be a mantle of social justice. That which William Booth had, I give it to you this night."(Cindy Jacobs to Pete Greig, Phoenix Arizona 20th June 2008)

These words, shared at our ‘Home’ gathering in Southampton in 2008, didn’t surprise us. The concept of marrying prayer and social justice isn't new for 24-7 - Justice and Mercy always been part of our movement, in our prayers in prayer room, and into practical action in our communities.

Why Justice?

The opportunities are immense and very exciting, but before we dove into a flurry of activity and prayer we had to learn just what ‘justice’ meant. You see, the justice that we talk about is not the justice God talks about and that shapes everything we do from hereon in.

The most common word he uses in the bible for justice is the Hebrew word Tzedek (or Zedekah). This has a far broader meaning, combining justice with righteousness in one single word & our translations regularly group justice with righteousness and also with mercy & grace. Jesus puts them together too in his very first public speech, the Sermon on the Mount.
