Summary

An extraordinary story about the adventure of faith and the power of persevering prayer…

On a summer’s day in 1727 a community of Moravians started praying and didn’t stop for more than 100 years. Throughout history God has mobilised such movements and moments of 24/7 prayer – from the Upper Room of Pentecost to Azusa Street in Los Angeles, through ancient Celtic saints and extraordinary characters like Alexander the Sleepless.

This is the story of a movement of the Spirit in our time, a move as ancient as it is modern.

As young people desert the church and AIDS orphans Africa, a new generation is learning to pray and obey like never before. From Communist China to Washington DC and from the ranks of the Salvation Army to anarchic German punks, the 24-7 Prayer movement has been interceding continually, night and day, since 1999 in more than fifty countries. This is their extraordinary story; an honest account of pain and perseverance alongside pioneering mission and miraculous answers to prayer.

About the Author

Pete Greig is the bewildered founder of 24-7 Prayer, an international interdenominational prayer and mission movement. He lives on the south coast of England with his wife Samie and their two sons Hudson and Daniel. Together they have planted a couple of youth congregations for Revelation church in Chichester and Portsmouth. Pete is recognised as an adviser and teacher in many countries, has contributed to numerous programmes on TV and radio and serves Cultural Shift, a network of those experimenting with church in the emerging culture. He loves mountains, U2, Portsmouth FC, laughing with friends and God. Not necessarily in that order.

Dave Roberts is an author, speaker and leader in his local church. He lives in Eastbourne, England. He helped launch the Worship Together worship concept around the world and was also the editor of two national Christian magazines in the UK. He has helped pioneer innovative conferences for all involved in work with children and young people. He likes Kirk Franklin, U2, Bill Gaither, Mary, Mary and all old school Motown music (strange as that may seem). He is married to Sharon and has 2 sons, Ben & Joel. He is also the author of Following Jesus: a non-religious guide for the spiritually hungry.
