Non-stop prayer isn’t a new idea; it’s a recurring theme throughout the Bible and history. When we pray, we experience God’s presence, power, and love, which transforms our lives and communities.
For 25 years, 24-7 Prayer Rooms have been catalysts for outreach, mission movements, and social transformation. As we encounter God in prayer, we are propelled outward to bring hope and change to the world around us.
“My name will be great among the nations, from where the sun rises to where it sets. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,’ says the Lord Almighty.”
Malachi 1:11
A 24-7 Prayer room is a creative prayer space that enables a chain of unbroken day and night prayer, bringing friends, communities and churches together to seek the presence of God.
You only really need three things to create a 24-7 Prayer Room:
We’ve created a free guide to running a prayer room to help you with all the details – learn more:
You can register your own 24-7 Prayer Room and join us in prayer from 1 – 7 September.
You can also look through the map to see if communities in your nation are hosting their own 24-7 Prayer Room.
When you click the link to register for the Global Week of Prayer, you’ll be invited to sign in. If you’ve registered a 24-7 Prayer Room before, sign in with your details. Otherwise, sign up to create an account.
When you register your prayer room, your nation is added to the map. You’ll have access to the Prayer Room Sign-Up Tool that allows you to organise prayer slots during the week, and you’ll receive resources and support to help you run your prayer room.
Prayer is happening all the time, all over the world: so why do we feel God’s invitation to a Global Week of Prayer? In short, this is a moment of profound unity as the global Church stands together.
When we pray, we discover God’s heart for transformation in our towns, in our cities, in our nations. What could happen if there was a week of non-stop prayer in every nation on earth? How might God encounter us? How might his greatness be seen? How might we see transformation?
We want to find out!
Ideally, yes – there’s something powerful about people gathering in person to pray. But we know that in some nations or situations, it’s hard to do that. So it’s absolutely fine to:
Do what works best for your context. The main thing is praying together.
The goal is non-stop, night and day prayer – but every bit of prayer counts. Whether it’s a few hours or one day. God hears and responds. We’d love each nation to have a praying presence – even if it’s not 24/7.
It’s also a brilliant opportunity to collaborate. If your church can’t fill a week, partner with other churches in your area. Please still register even if it’s just for a short time. We want all to participate!
Prayer can happen anywhere. We’ve seen prayer in:
You don’t need a formal or “spiritual” venue. Be creative! What matters is making space to pray, wherever that may be.
24-7 Prayer is an international, interdenominational prayer movement with a vision to revive the church and rewire the culture through non-stop night and day prayer.
We started in 1999, when a simple student-led prayer vigil went viral and groups all over the world joined in to pray. Now, over two decades later, thousands of communities have taken part in 24-7 Prayer in churches, communities and cities in over half the countries on earth.
