All About 24/7

How did 24/7 Start?

24-7prayer started by accident in September 1999, with a bunch of young people in Chichester who got the crazy idea of trying to pray non-stop for a month.  God turned up and they couldn't stop til Christmas!

From there the prayer meeting has spread into many nations, denominations and age-groups. Hundreds of non-stop prayer meetings now link up on the web to form a unique chain of prayer.

What does it involve?

Participating groups pledge to pray 24 hours a day for a week or more in a dedicated prayer-room. They then 'carry the baton of prayer' for that period. The prayer passes from location to location in a never ending flow linked up by the Worldwide Web. We are a virtual community praying in real locations. Right now someone, somewhere is praying 24-7.

What's happening in Cambridge?

The plan in Cambridge is a series of 24/2 weekends covering an entire 48 hours in prayer every month. People sign up to pray for at least an hour each, and pass on the 'prayer-baton' like a spiritual relay race. We believe that mission is birthed in prayer, and if you fancy the challenge of spending a whole hour alone with God, or even with friends seeking his heart for the lost – then sign up!

Why are we praying?

Sometimes in our busy lives, prayer is the first thing to go. But when we stop to encounter the Living God, we are changed. We find ourselves hungry for more, thirsty for the Holy Spirit and longing to be empowered to do His will. As we spend time in his presence, we begin to catch his heart. 24/7 prayer is about making space to say 'Here I am. Send me'. We expect that in the early hours of the morning He will be igniting visions and stirring dreams that will change the world.

Intimacy leads to Involvement. Prayer births Mission.

If you want to meet with your Father and be part of a wider community that is seeking His purposes, then C'mon! Pray as if it all depends on God and live as if it all depends on you...
