Chill - Be Still - And know...
Before Jesus said “Go into all the world”
He first said “Come unto Me”
24-7 is calling people to ’Come’
To carve out time
to talk, to listen,
to encounter God’s heart
…And to let God encounter ours

This is nothing new…
It’s not a wild new discovery.
In fact it’s the simplest idea there is - that we were made
to walk in intimate friendship with God.
24-7 Prayer Week is a way of getting as many people as possible
to lock themselves alone in a room with God & see what happens..
Every 90 days we host 24-7 Prayer, a week of continuous prayer going 24hrs each day.

24-7
prayer is not for experts. It’s especially good
for those of us who find prayer a struggle. The arts, music, suggested
ways to pray, & creative on ramps to connecting with God can
all help people engage in prayer. But the most prominent aspect
is the often felt presence of God in these prayer spaces. Many say
that an hour in the prayer room feels like 10 minutes. Prayer week
also provides accountability – People have to turn up for
thier prayer slot to relieve the person praying in time slots before
& behind them. This also ensures a constant flow as one
prayer shift hands the baton to the next.
Sign up to participate in this week of continous
prayer for one or several time slots throughout the 7
days - No matter where you are on your spiritual journey,
come to get alone with God or sign up as a group. Only those
who have signed up for a timeslot will be admitted into the site
during prayer week.

The dare
is to be alone with God
for a whole hour -
maybe even in the middle of the night.

Across the globe God has been using the on ramp of 24-7 prayer
week to help people rekindle a passion for Jesus & for prayer.
For many the trip to the prayer closet in the wee hours becomes
like a spiritual pilgrimage back to intimacy with God. Some find
Christ for the first time in these spaces. Jesus has really been
meeting people as they sign up, show up & lock themselves
in to engage with God for an hour.
Come–Chill–Be still–Get
to know God.
Statistics show that even church leaders have a hard
time pulling away from noble addictions to get alone with God. In
all our 'Going for God' it's easy to get too busy for 'Coming to
God'. We love Him, but can we stop & stand to be near Him? Has
personal prayer become a casualty of our culture?
