Pete Greig & others to speak at 'Magnify'Carla Harding - 14 Jun 2010

We're really looking forward to being in Edinburgh, Scotland this September for Magnify: 24-7 Prayer's international gathering.  Especially as we already have people coming from as far afield as Brazil, India and New Zealand!   During our program (to be released next month) we'll be making space for prayer, worship, discussion and teaching.  To wet your appetite I thought I'd share just a few of the amazing people who'll be bringing something from the word and their own experience about God's grace, what we have to be thankful for and the call on the 24-7 Prayer movement.  Some faces you may recognise, others may be new but all are living lives of loving God and others in three different nations…
