On Monday, a thousand communities in more than half the nations on earth will join together in praising God and declaring his greatness, day and night, for one whole week.

The Global Week of 24-7 Prayer is underway – with 124 nations and over 1,300 prayer rooms seeking God day and night. That’s more than 250,000 hours of prayer happening across the earth this week.

From homes and churches to schools and caravans, sacred spaces are opening everywhere, praying: “Lord, show us your glory.”

We’re just getting started, and we’re full of faith for what God will do in and through this united moment of global prayer.

This year, people across the country are invited to join together in the National Week of Prayer, from 6-14 September 2025 or host a gathering for those local to you, to come together to pray.

We will hold an event on 4th September leading up to this week at Channel view 10.30am

There is a displacement crisis in sub-Saharan Africa with more than 16.2 million Christians having to flee their homes due to violence and conflict. Last year OPEN DOORS launched the “Arise Africa” campaign in response to the call from the African church to help them stop the violence and start the healing.

The Arise Africa petition calls for protection, justice and restoration for believers. 200,000 have already signed from 193 countries.

 A young man who travelled secretly for 10 months before finally arriving in South Korea. Jun told CSW that he had never met a Christian until he arrived in China. Being a follower of Jesus in North Korea is unbelievably difficult and risky; if discovered, Christians are dealt with as if they were terrorists committing treason, execution by firing squad the most likely consequence. Churches are tiny and isolated, meeting in family homes, always in secret.’
