24-7 is a non-stop prayer meeting across many nations and Christian traditions. Participating groups pledge to pray 24 hours a day in a fixed location for anything between a week and a month. They then ‘carry the baton of prayer’ for that period.

The prayer-meeting flows between locations linked by the World Wide Web. Right now someone, somewhere is praying 24-7.

The UK Mission Team launched a year of prayer in the UK Territory at the 2001 Roots conference in May 2001. At the Roots conference, where attendance exceeded 3,600 people, over 1,500 people passed through the 24-7/SA prayer room during the 4 day conference.

And at one point, at 12.30am, there were over 150 Salvationists, of all ages, in the prayer room, praying. During the first year (4 May 2001 until 3 May 2002) of constant, 24-7 prayer in the UK Territory, over 200 Corps and Centres were involved in the 24-7/SA prayer project, from the UK Salvation Army. However it also included Corps in all parts of the world, including Australia, South Africa, Sweden, Russia, USA and Canada.

And in Vancouver, Canada young Salvationists have kept the fire of prayer burning -- in The War Room – What started as a one week commitment, has continued on for nearly 3 years . . . and going strong.
