Whakatane New Zealand: Awesome week of 24-7 prayer - 6 Oct 2006
"The response to our prayer room is
simply awesome! |
 |
Dianna Sullivan helped set up a prayer room at her church in September.
This is her story (BTW, if you're wondering where in the world Whakatane is, we've
provided a map of New Zealand - see right!) |

September 24th - First prayer slot"I've never really prayed on my own for a concentrated time; I usually pray several random prayers throughout the day. But this was easy! I'd sourced all sorts of creative ways to pray on the internet - spoken, written, drawn and sung. My prayer slot was for 2 hours and the time flew! I came out refreshed and eager to go back again." | ||
September 26th – Youth Group hooked on prayer"I’m simply stunned by how
well this week is going!! All
the prayer slots have been filled so far, although there are still some
more slots to be filled on Friday and Saturday. The Youth group were meant
to do 15 min slots tonight, but we found them praying for up
to an hour. "
September 29th - Final Hours |

"It's just wonderful to see the creative ways that
we can pray. We're so looking forward to doing this again! Although
the prayer room was supposed to finish tomorrow, we're leaving it for
another week for other people to come and see what’s been
happening. | |

"Two of the girls in the youth group were so inspired
to pray that they
didn't want to leave, and stayed for an extra slot! I've noticed that they
have their names down for the final hour of the week."
