24h PrayerZone

Couple of weeks ago, we did a 24h prayer watch in the JuCa (youth cafe). We started Sat morning at 8AM and had 1 hour shifts for 24 hours - until 8AM Sun. Each 1-hour shift was then 'manned' by 3-7 people praying (all in all, we had about 100 people from the church come to pray). We had soooooo many prayer requests that 24 hours didn't cover it all!

We had 'prayer stations/corners' with specific 'themes/prayer needs' where you could pray for that need - for example Freiburg, our neighborhoods, families, friends, schools, Uni's, Germany, the body at CCF, our missionaries, needs of the church, people who are suffering w/ illnesses/disease, and so on. It was done in a creative/artsy way that put a new face to prayer - not your typical prayer meeting where everyone sits in a circle and prays.

It went so well, that we have another 24h planned for Spring. And we hope to be able to do a whole weekend (Fri to Sun) in Fall. It was so exciting to see people getting excited about prayer again! And not just at the 24h PrayerZone - but we all got a jumpstart in our personal prayer life also!























For our missionaries
