Some groups and churches find that hosting prayer rooms, and developing rhythms of prayer, takes them on a journey towards establishing a long-term 24-7 Boiler Room …this is when ‘involvement in the movement’ becomes ‘joining the family’. Part of the 24-7 Prayer vision is to plant more of these missional communities across the UK, and also into Europe – we feel it’s part of our call, our purpose. While we describe the prayer rooms and rhythms of prayer as blessing the body of Christ, we see the Boiler Rooms and resource communities as building the body of Christ. Our prayer is that Jesus would build his house through 24-7 prayer.
We consider the UK Boiler Room communities to be in relationship with 24-7 Prayer… we are family. One of the relational expectations is that Boiler Room communities commit themselves to living out the six rhythms of prayer, mission, justice, hospitality, learning and creativity together as a Christ-centred community. Among the Boiler Room communities around the world, 24-7 Prayer recognises some of these as Resource hubs. These are commissioned to support new communities who are exploring joining with 24-7 Prayer more intentionally, and to send out new teams to establish similar communities, as well as short term mission teams.
