Prayer

They pray as if it all depends on God and live as if it all depends on them. The Vision

At this very moment someone, somewhere is praying; maybe through word, thought, flowing through a pen or painted on a wall, they're speaking to their creator. In 24-7 Prayer Rooms in any number of countries, from different streams of the Church, Christians are learning to pray by praying.

The first night and day 24-7 Prayer Room started by accident in September '99. A small group of English youth took on the extreme challenge of praying non-stop for a month. They broke days into hour slots, filled a room with creative inspiration and expected to fail after a week... God turned up and they couldn't stop 'til Christmas! A passion for God's presence, a rise in faith and answers to prayer brought new life to their Church.

A Global Wave of Prayer

From that one scruffy, smelly, holy room the idea and hunger for prayer has spread across the globe. The virus of 24-7 Prayer has multiplied into thousands of Prayer Rooms in over 100 nations. Space has been made in schools, police stations, prisons, shops, festivals, naval academies, caravans, homes and often in churches themselves. It's hard to keep track as Prayer Rooms have spread through word of mouth, virally across the internet and through the book Red Moon Rising by Pete Greig. Thousands of non-stop prayer meetings are now linked via this web site to form a unique chain of unbroken prayer.

Prayer itself is an art which only the Holy Spirit can teach us. Pray for prayer. Pray until you can really pray. -C.H.Spurgeon
