24/7

So, last week was 24/7 prayer week here at Summit college. Basically what we did was sign up for an hour, or more if we wanted, and we had a small storage room set aside that our interns painted up real nice, and we would spend our hour in there praying or writing or drawing, really anything we could think of to worship God, and as the name implies the room had someone in it every hour of every day that week. We could post stuff on the walls, and on one wall there were pieces of paper with our names on them and we could write prayer requests and others could write encouragement on sticky notes and stick them to our paper. It was a really cool week. We, the guys at least, had been talk about taking our community deeper, and this provided a very cool way to do it. I would suggest that all of you who read this should try this. For those of you near Calgary, there is an actual building you can go to, it is at St. Paul's. I have no idea where in Calgary that is, but I am sure it wouldnt be too hard to find. If anyone wants any info on what this 24/7 prayer thing is you can check out there website www.24-7prayer.com, and for info on where they have headquarter sort of things click on the "boiler room" link. Again, i will suggest that you should all try this, maybe get a group from your church and do it for a weekend or something, or just take time in your day to pray or just spend time with God, reading your Bible or whatever. If you think about it, as Christians we are devoted to God, He is our life, He is everything to us, and if we cannot take an hour a day, which really is not that much time in the span of an entire day, then how much do we honestly care about Him. I need this advice just as much as anyone, but just think about it. So yeah, it was an amazing week, and we are planning on keeping it going on Saturdays. I took some pics of the room, so I will post them when I get them developed. Yes i still use a film camera.
