24-7 Prayer

In January 2007 we launched a year of prayer and challenged Methodist churches to ‘carry the baton of prayer' and cover the island of Ireland and the year in prayer.

It didn't end there, churches are still praying, a few have made a week of prayer 24-7 part of their yearly rhythm, to set up a prayer space and challenge their people to get on their knees for their church, community and world, some have permanent prayer rooms in their churches, some regularly have days or 24 hours of prayer, some incorporate interactive prayer experiences into Sunday worship, for some it has been partnered with mission and they have a prayer room set up alongside a week of special outreach activities in their community.

For some churches a week feels like a big commitment but there are many ways to ‘plug in' to 24-7 prayer:

Decide where you want to ‘plug in' and check out the stories and practical suggestions for getting started here.. For others, you have been blessed and challenged by your experience of 24-7 prayer and are asking what next?
