24-7 Prayer Room at St Paul’s Box Hill

24-7 Prayer Room at St Pauls, Box Hill, 1-7 September 2025

Imagine praying non-stop for one hundred years? Twenty-five years? What about an hour?

As part of a worldwide, interdenominational effort to bring non-stop prayer to the world for a whole week, 24-7 Prayer have called for pray-ers to pray synchronously, all over the world for 24 hours a day for a whole week! Come Holy Spirit!

24-7 Prayer, which set up their first prayer room in 1999, in an inner London warehouse, has grown into a worldwide movement of prayer.  This movement includes the popular prayer app, “Lectio 365” and is associated with the Order of the Mustard Seed, which Cathy Beaton is a member of.   24-7 Prayer was inspired by the seminal European prayer movement in the settlement of Herrnhut, (now in Germany), which ran for 100 years!  The mindboggling faithfulness of these Moravian refugees, lead to the creation of the world-wide missionary movements of the 18th and 19th centuries.  So too, the London 24-7 Prayer Room is still flourishing, 25 years later and since then, hundreds of permanent 24-7 prayer rooms have sprung up all over the world!

In response to the especially challenging times we are living through, 24-7 Prayer decided to call for a Global Week of Prayer 1-7 September.  It seems fitting and indeed vital to seek the will of God and earnestly ask for an end to war and conflict, for peace and reconciliation, for healing, for an end to poverty and injustice, for the spread of the Gospel, for renewal of the church, both in our local communities and worldwide.  Come Holy Spirit!

It is with great excitement and anticipation that St Paul’s Box Hill is joining in the Global Week of Prayer and is setting up a 24-7 Prayer room, where people can intentionally draw apart to spend time with God in praise and worship, intercession, and prayerful meditation on the Word.
