Why I Love 24-7 Prayer, an article by Lisa BordenLisa Borden - 25 Feb 2009

I love this big 24-7 Prayer family.  

I love that I get a note in my inbox in Tanzania from a 19 yr old art student friend in New York city saying, "I want God back in my life but I don't even know how to start that relationship again..."  

I love that she is asking me because, yes, I'm a friend of the family, but also because she associates me with something out of the box with God, by virtue of my belonging within 24-7.  

I love that when she asks me if there are any 24-7 connections on New York City, I have to ask Wendy and Allison and Lindsay in the 24-7 USA team.  I love that they tell me Linnea Spransy (pioneering artist and Kansas City Boiler Room member) is going to NYC next month and that she says she'll be happy to look up my young artist friend.  

I love that this happens in a matter of hours and I can let my young artist know that a crazily gifted artist who has a living relationship with Jesus will be more than happy to make time for her soon right there in Brooklyn.  I am grateful and humbled to be part of such an amazing group of people connected by prayer across the globe...
