We at the River Church have had a growing desire to "do" a 24-7 Prayer Event for 6-8 months now. In the beginning, as I regularily sat by the river here in Squamish to pray, God gave me a picture that one day we would see people from all ages and backgrounds lined up along the river bank united in prayer. I received the vision as from the Lord, but didn't know quite what that would look like. Only now we are beginning to realize that 24-7 refects that vision on many levels.

My wife Kenda came across Pete Greig's "Red Moon Rising" last January and new right from the outset that God was using Pete Greig's experience to affirm much of what we were envisioning for the river and the Olympic Corridor. As the Vision became clearer we began to dream about running a 24-7 40 Prayer Event. Sharing my heart with Andy Lambkin, we soon discovered a similar vision. It seemed right to us and the Holy Spirit that we coordinate our dates for the 24-7 40 Days of Prayer to happen in tandum. I see all this as further confirmation that we are moving in step with the flow of God's Spirit.
