WHO WE ARE
24-7 Prayer is an international, interdenominational prayer movement, with a vision to revive the church and rewire the culture through non-stop night and day prayer.
We started in 1999, when a simple student-led prayer vigil went viral and groups all over the world joined in to pray. Now, over two decades later, thousands of communities have taken part in 24-7 Prayer in churches, communities and cities in over half the countries on earth. From apps and courses to prayer rooms and blogs; 24-7 Prayer exist to help people pray.
Waverley Abbey is a place of renewal, formation and mission. Rooted in a rich heritage of Christian prayer and discipleship, our vision is to see Ancient Sparks ignite New Fires in the lives of individuals, churches, communities and nations. Waverley Abbey has a bold vision to become a House of Prayer for all nations — a place where prayer fuels mission, hospitality reveals Christ, leaders are formed and released, and individuals discover their God-given calling and purpose.
Together the two organisations are seeking to cultivate, through the House of Prayer, a culture where prayer, worship, hospitality, spiritual formation and mission are deeply integrated. We have shared vision at Waverley Abbey to create a place of encounter with God and a resource for the wider Church and the global 24-7 Prayer movement, serving locally, nationally and internationally.
