Alleluia!!!!….at last

…the government see sense about Teenage pregnancy and rising STI’s rates.

Just say no! In other words wait till you are in that faithful, loving relationship (hopefully marriage) before you have sex. They will probably claim to have come up with that one!

 

God has been saying it, well, since time began I suppose!

The fastest 3 hours in my life……

….this morning from 3am till 6am!

We are currently running a 24-7 prayer room at the Bridge in Shirley which is the building that houses our church offices and youth meetings etc.

We have decked out a room with some drapes, cosy chairs etc and people have been praying non-stop since Sunday at 7.00pm on a rota basis. I will hopefully post some pics soon.

Me and Sue arrived to find people already in the room and we spent an hour and half together praying for God to move in this area. Eventually I was left with one other person till 6am till the next person came in to ‘carry the baton’ in prayer.

This may sound like the weirdest thing you ever heard but I can assure you it is the most amazing thing you can ever do. To communicate with God, the creator of the universe, through words, painting, poems, drawings, creative artwork etc is awesome. I don’t really understand how setting aside a room and then people turning up to pray for one whole week works like it does, but it does. The time just whizzes by.

The Bible says that to God, a day is like a thousand years. Thats what happens. When you are in Gods presence like this, time flies!

We are currently joining with 26 other churches and groups across 7 countries in praying like this. Check out the 24-7 website to see how it all works.
