Video: 24-7 Prayer as a Movement

What is 24-7 Prayer?

Prayer as community

Atheism and unemployment prevail as the lasting legacy of Communism in the villages around Leipzig, East Germany. But there is hope! Meet a truly radical modern-day, monastic community which has moved into a picturesque village.

'Our neighbours just call us The Christians because we're the only ones they've ever known,' says Markus Laegel. 'It's scary because the way we live will define Jesus to them.'

Prayer as creativity

'Prayer to me is far more than just a monologue with God. Its breathing... It's being.'

Beautifully filmed in a derelict Oklahoma Warehouse, this short film follows a group of friends who are exploring new ways of communicating with God - through drums. Their story provokes a bigger question: 'If hitting things in a Tulsa Warehouse can be an expression of intercession, is there any act of human creativity which cannot be turned to prayer?'

Find out how 24-7 Prayer is being used as an expression of mission in Ibiza. This package follows a team in Spain who are taking prayer out of the sanctuary and in to the streets, pubs and clubs of Europe's biggest party island. It may be a top holiday destination, but the work is far from glamorous as they dodge the fights and the after-effects of a long night's drinking...

Prayer as justice

In the mafia-run graffiti-walled city of Boys Town, Mexico, Kelly Greene is praying with women and men caught up in cycles of prostitution, poverty and drugs. She knows that prayer is a dangerous, dirty business, but she's modelling Christ's love, mercy and justice and lives are being changed. Watch Kelly's story and consider how it could be applied in your community.
