24/7 NATIONAL GATHERING, SAN FRANCISCO
A gathering for the 24-7 Prayer family from across the US to remember our identity as a people of prayer, mission, and justice and be inspired and equipped to call the church to an awakened prayer life. Join us for a powerful few days of prayer, worship, learning from Scripture, and responding to the Spirit.
The theme of this year's National Gathering is Praying in Color. The focus of our time will be broadening our vision for a life of prayer to include the varied prayer practices handed down through church history.
Here we will explore being with Jesus through silence and solitude, prayer as emotional and spiritual formation, prayer as lament, prayer that leads to reconciliation, listening and prophetic prayer, intercession and petition, and more.
We are so excited to be gathering in beautiful San Francisco and thank our friends at Reality SF Church for hosting us for what we expect to be a rich and deeply inspiring time.

By applying for this intensive, you are saying yes to engaging your own heart, the heart of the Lord, and the hearts of other men.
