24-7 Asia Gathering: February 2015Rachel Wegner - 22 Jan 2015
“The Bible is full of feasts and festivals where people traveled great distances, often at great expense, to be together and celebrate the story of God.”
Pete Greig, co-founder of 24-7 Prayer
As 24-7 Prayer spreads throughout Asia, Wendy Andrews and her team are rallying people for a gathering in Hong Kong from February 12-14, 2015. This marks the first 24-7 Asia gathering in the history of the 24-7 Prayer movement. While their network is still young and relatively small, Wendy said that people will join them from as far and wide as India to Malaysia to Japan.
“We believe in the value of friendship and the encouragement that we can be as we worship God together and hear one another’s stories,” Wendy said.
Many communities in the 24-7 Asia network are experiencing life and growth as they call their nations and cities to pray and do God’s work. In Japan, a team is reaching out through media and evangelism to reach the younger, and often hopeless, generation around them. In Singapore, a group of friends are buying up and running missional café communities and hosting 24-7 Prayer rooms in those spaces. In Malaysia, two years of continuous prayer are underway, bridging many churches and denominations.
“There are so many beautiful things underway around the region,” Wendy said. “This gathering will be a good chance for people who want to prioritize prayer to meet one another and to receive wisdom for how to live out the dreams in their hearts.”
If you or somebody you know would like to join the 24-7 Asia gathering, read this special invitation below.
