The first 24-7 Prayer Room – an empty space in a renovated warehouse – was sparked by a simple challenge:
“What would happen if we prayed night and day for a whole month?”
That was in 1999. And the prayer still hasn’t stopped.
We created ‘How to run a 24-7 Prayer Room’ PDF guide with all you need to get started.
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.
Ancient Celts used the phrase “thin places” to describe where the veil between heaven and earth becomes so thin that prayer flows easily, and the still, small voice of God is heard clearly.
Over and over, people report that in the presence of God, one hour feels like ten minutes.
We recommend somewhere that’s easily accessible, safe for individuals to be there alone, and with access to toilets and drinking water.
This will depend on where your community are based, and on their access needs.
This completely depends on the size of your community and their hunger for prayer. Remember – build momentum! You want it to last a length of time that’s stretching but is also achievable.
Give yourselves enough time to prepare, and choose dates when your community will have time to join in and be able to carve out time to be with God.
