24-7 Virtual offers the training and resources of 24-7 Prayer in a more portable and flexible format for growing and developing communities. It involves:

• gathering as a small group for eight sessions of podcasted training, recorded by the best of our 24-7 speakers.

• post-podcast discussions as a local group, via questions at the end of the podcast, and via an online forum, as well as activities and mentoring by the the 24-7 learning team.

• a growing relationship with 24-7′s UK teams.

We currently offer courses in Prayer, Community and Justice, although others are in the pipeline.

The Colchester Boiler Room community recently took the Virtual series entitled ‘Community’, and it helped them to better define their core group and start asking big questions about what it meant to be developing as a community. The outcomes of this learning and questioning can be seen in their development.

The growing 24-7 community in Gloucester took the Virtual series on ‘Prayer’, and it helped them to ask tough questions of one another about their future and where their group was going. During the course they took a break to run a prayer room that has helped to mobilize prayer in the larger church community in Gloucester. The course has pushed their prayer as a group as well as their personal prayer lives.

“Virtual has brought a lot of benefit to us here in Gloucester, as individuals as well as a small community. Its relaxed, informal but intimate style welcomes you warmly into the 24-7 roller coaster ride of exploring prayer, and you quickly find yourself challenged, stretched and inspired.

The insight, stories and enthusiasm have inspired all of us to consider, and reconsider our prayer life – our rhythms of prayer as a community, the way we run prayer rooms, our understanding of prayer, what we do with our prayers, how we can put our prayers into practice? its had a real impact!

If you and some friends want to explore the values that fuel 24-7, of prayer, mission and justice, and you wonder what that could mean for you personally and collectively, then Virtual is a great way to take you up a gear into a fuller awareness and experience of prayer focussed on Jesus Christ.” Joe Knight – Gloucester
