We’d love to hear how you found running your 24-7 Prayer Room. Let us know how you got on, and the themes and stories that came out of your space!
The prayer room once again provided a moment of encounter for us as a church family. Just making a space, encouraging people to intentionally give an hour to meet God seemed to once again be an invitation to God to meet us. We saw these words from Jeremiah 29:12- 13 become our reality ” In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.””
