Uppsala, Sweden: About 50 people gathered to connect, plan, worship, and dream together at 24-7 Sweden’s national gathering. The event took place over the weekend of October 7 in Uppsala, Sweden at Korskyrkan (Crosschurch).
The purpose of the weekend was for anyone that, in one way or another, has connected with 24-7 in Sweden. The weekend was spent hanging out with new friends and making new ones, spending time in worship and prayer, and listening to guest speakers.

An invitation to the event reads, 'We are all pilgrims with heaven as end destination. But we are also travelling: towards God-with God-in the world.' Thus, the theme of the weekend was Journey.

"Behind testimonies, Boiler Rooms, newsletters, mission teams and websites we find real people," said 24-7 Sweden's Matilda Andin. "These men and women were the focus at RE:claim."
One of the key pieces of scripture that 24-7 Sweden is focusing on is Luke 10:1-3 -
“After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.” |

“For some, it was a time of getting to know about 24-7 for the first time. For others, it was a ‘re-start’ weekend filled with vision and community,” said Matilda.
"We made up all different kinds of plans and God just seemed to rearrange and make it the way He'd planned it," she said. "The people we invited to speak, for instance – we thought they were coming for one reason only to realize that God wanted to say something totally different to us through them!" | |
