24-7 prayer exists to transform the world through a movement of Christ-centered and mission-minded prayer.

 

Obedient to the Holy Spirit

Like Jesus, we seek to do what we see the Father doing.  We acknowledge his right to break our rules and offend our sensibilities (John 5:19; Psalm 127:1; John 3:8)

Relational

We are a community of friends with shared vision and values, driven by friendship rather than function (John 15:14-15; Luke 10:1-22; 1 Peter 3:7-11; 1 John 4:4-12).

Indigenous

We respect, value and honor cultural diversity (Revelation 7:9-10; Daniel 1; 1 Corinthians 9:20-21).

Inclusive

We work with anyone sharing our vision and values, regardless of race, age, gender or church background. We build unity and enjoy diversity (Colossians 3:11; Ephesians 4:3-6).

Like Jesus

We seek to be like Jesus in the way we do what we do. For us, the means do not necessarily justify the ends.

Deep rooted

We are committed to growth in maturity rather than size (Psalm 1:1-3).

Creative and innovative

We embrace God-inspired creativity as integral to authentic expressions of prayer (Exodus 35:30-35; Genesis 1:1-2; Psalm 45:1; Proverbs 8:22-31).

Just

We will pursue Justice and freedom from oppression for humanity and the created world (Isaiah 61; Luke 4:18-19; Romans 8:19-21; Isaiah 58).

Good stewards

We take responsibility for ourselves, those around us and the things the God has entrusted to us (Matthew 25: 14-30; 2 Corinthians 9:6-15).

Sacrificial

We believe that a lifestyle of prayer is costly at every level (2 Corinthians 8:1-5; 1 John 3:16-18; Romans 12:1-2).

Celebratory

We believe that Jesus came to bring life to the full and that we have a Christian duty to celebrate all that is good. Fun and laughter are central to 24-7 and we do not need to justify these (Genesis 1:31; Psalm 24:1; Matthew 11:19, John 10:10).

 

Raw and simple

We are a network of like-minded people, not some new slick organization. In character we are wild and unpolished ~ passionate about developing people rather than our own profile (Psalm 116:6; Luke 10:3-5; John 3:8).
