Boiler Room
|
|
Four key words that describe what we do:
|
Community: a group of people who are committed to Jesus and
seeking to live out that commitment through a regular rhythm of prayer
and mission.
Catalyst: committed to pray for the area and to encourage prayer in the area
Voice: to be a voice for those who’s voice isn’t heard and to call out for Godly justice for people
Refuge: to create a creative and reflective space where people can come and pray and meet with God.

Boiler Rooms grew out of the vision of 24-7 Prayer, a movement which
started accidentally when a Church, realising it was bad at prayer and
inspired by the 18th Century Moravians who had prayer for 100 years,
wondered whether it could fill a month with non-stop prayer with
individuals taking hour slots in a prayer room. The idea soon gained
momentum and churches across the country and world began to join in.
There has been non-stop prayer since January 2000. Out of these
temporary prayer rooms came a vision to establish more permanent prayer
rooms, which became known as Boiler Rooms, following the ideas laid
down by Zinzendorf, the founder of the Moravian movement 300 years ago;
to be true to Christ, to be kind to others, take the Gospel to the
nations.
Day to Day?

Tuesday – Prayer room open pm with 5pm Afternoon Prayer

Prayer weeks
We also run prayer weeks, a week when the prayer room is open 24 hours a day and based on a theme.
Mission together
Part of the out-working of being a Boiler Room community is to be involved in mission.
The Boiler Room community is fluid, always changing and developing.
We are keen for new people to buy into the vision and to bring their
own gifts, skills and vision into what we are doing. Our heart is to be
a community that serves and encourages locally.
