24-7 Europe: The Church is RisingIan Nicholson - 6 Sep 2012

24-7 Prayer are committed to fervent prayer, pioneer mission, church planting, and being present among the poor and marginalized. But the ultimate vision?  The ultimate vision is Jesus. As Europe is squeezed in so many ways our vision has to be Jesus – His presence, His kingdom and His name being raised above all others.

This year’s Eurogathering is titled ‘Aufstehen’ - meaning to stand or to rise - and is meeting next month in Frankfurt, Germany.  ‘Aufstehen’ is about seeing the church in Europe rise up and regain its confidence. So from October 18th – 21st we will gather in Frankfurt from all over the world to spend time with Jesus, celebrate family and commit to being radical disciples.

Main speakers will include Pete Greig, Matthias Kuhn, Carla Harding and Brian Heasley. On top of this, there will be seminars covering a wide range of subjects, such as; raising up young leaders, starting small businesses, the healing power of hospitality and community transformation. This year there will be special seminars on leadership theology with Roger Ellis and a few more surprises in the pipeline. Seminar leaders will bring depth and perspective from their work in Africa, America and the Middle East as well as Europe.

Eurogathering is a key time to regroup and refocus around shared values but is also a brilliant opportunity for new groups and friends to meet us for the first time. We want to meet you and give you time, 24-7 leaders will be available to talk into the early hours – offering advice, encouragement and wisdom. The multitude of cafes, bars and restaurants are also great places to schemeand dream with friends.

A highlight last year was the vibrant, multicultural worship and the opportunity to pray 24-7 in the top room complete with a panoramic 360-degree view of the city. Burn 24-7 will again be joining us, as will members of the vibrant Loretto prayer movement from Austria.  We will be hosting the first Vision Course students and also announcing a fresh wave of mission teams for next year.

Auftsehen! See you there – that the name of Jesus will be lifted high in our continent once more.
