24/7 prayer has been spreading across the world since September 1999. A group of high school students in Europe started a night and day prayer experiment and had no idea this it would grow into a movement in over 125 nations. Through the years there have been over a million people engaged in 24/7 prayer, 13,000+ prayer rooms launched, and thousands of missionaries sent out. You can learn more about this movement at www.24-7prayer.com RiverChurches has helped start prayer rooms in both the US and Africa. These rooms have become a hub for missions. Here are some of the things the Lord has taught us with these prayer rooms. -Western Culture is so fast paced that we do not take time to stop the noise and busyness to hear the voice of God. The prayer room creates much needed space for this to happen. -The building where the prayer room is located comes to life with ministry flowing through it. Great way to revive a dead church is to put a prayer room in the building. -The Prayer Room teaches us how to pray through providing several interactive stations in the room to help utilize all of our senses as we pursue relationship with the Lord. -Missions is birthed out of 24/7 prayer. One of our favorite examples of this is the Moravians who had a continues 24/7 prayer meeting that lasted for over 100 years and sent out over 300 missionaries from it. -We learn what the rest our community is crying out for and hearing from the Lord as many prayers are posted on the walls of the room. We learn to yearn for the things of God together! Here is another great book to read on the history of 24/7 prayer and how to launch a room in your community... “Red Moon Rising” by Pete Greig - https://www.amazon.com/Red-Moon-Rising-Awakening-Generation/dp/0972927662 One of our house churches is challenging us to fill the prayer room at The River Center on a regular basis. We met our first goal of filling it for three days and would like to meet our second goal to get 15-20 hours of prayer filled each week for a month.
