A movement where Christ is named

24-7 Prayer

Prayer & missions · Founded 1999 · by Pete Greig

24-7 Prayer is an international, interdenominational Christian movement of prayer, mission, and justice that began in 1999 with a single non-stop prayer room started by Pete Greig and friends in England. It spread as communities around the world took up continuous, round-the-clock prayer. Today it encourages ongoing prayer, forms missional communities, and connects prayer with practical care for the poor and the vulnerable.

What they do

24-7 Prayer helps churches and groups host prayer rooms where continuous prayer is kept going around the clock.

It develops resources, courses, and communities to help people learn to pray and to sustain a rhythm of prayer.

It links prayer with mission and justice, encouraging practical service to the poor and vulnerable alongside intercession.

The Scripture behind the work

“Pray without ceasing.”
“And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?”
“Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;”
“These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.”

Where the door leads

24-7 Prayer grew from a simple desire to seek Jesus in continuous prayer, and it holds prayer, mission, and justice together as one calling. It invites believers of every tradition to keep watch in prayer. A reader can respond by joining or starting a prayer room, or by praying continually.
