Upcoming Events
National Gathering 2025Perth, 21 March and Sydney, 22 March
We invite you to join us as we gather to pray, worship and learn together at our 24-7 Prayer Australia National Gathering. Our heart is to inspire a culture of extraordinary prayer, equipping the Church to take up God’s invitation to partner with him to build His Kingdom across our nation.
Alongside National Director Trudi Sayers, we’ll be hearing from guests including Pete Greig, founder of 24-7 Prayer, Gerald Griffin from Bridgetown Church, Jill Weber, Order of the Mustard Seed / Waverley Abbey, and Mark Sayers from Red Church.
We will also officially launch Prayer Spaces in Schools Australia, a 24-7 Prayer initiative creating spaces in schools where students can pause to reflect or pray. International Director Phil Togwell will be joining Australian National Coordinator Sue Allison to share vision and practical steps in establishing this exciting and impactful initiative.
Sharing story is a big part of our movement as we celebrate how God is moving amongst us, so we’ll be hearing updates and stories from local prayer rooms as well as what's happening amongst the Gen Z generation.
We can’t wait to gather together in both Perth and Sydney!
