The First 24-7 Prayer room began in Chichester, England
Inspired by the Moravians, a bunch of young people with a passion to see God move decided to try to pray night and day for a whole month. They started praying on 5 September 1999. One month turned to two, then three, then other communities joined in.
2000
24-7 Prayer vision launched in Guildford, England, which started with a prayer event in a nightclub. 13 people gave their lives to Jesus on that night. The whole year was covered in non-stop, day and night prayer – and the prayer still hasn’t stopped.
