The story of how 24-7 Prayer changed a nation—and the world, told by 24-7 Prayer founder Pete Greig

A remarkable story about the beginning of the 24-7 Prayer movement

Red Moon Rising tells the origin story of 24-7 Prayer as an international movement of prayer, mission, and justice impacting underground churches in the jungles of Papua New Guinea to the slums of Delhi and beyond, and even into war zones around the world. Read how that movement continues today and how each of us can be a part of the miracles God is doing through a new generation.

He preaches and teaches around the world, having spoken in venues as diverse as Vienna’s Catholic cathedral and Jakarta’s National Stadium, Windsor Castle and Wheaton College, a Swedish nightclub and the Scottish Parliament.

A Movement of Non-stop Prayer

24-7 Prayer exists to revive the church and rewire the culture through an international movement and communities of non-stop prayer,missionand justice.

We started in 1999, when a simple student-led prayer vigil went viral and groups all over the world joined in to pray. Now, over two decades later, thousands of communities have taken part in 24-7 Prayer in churches, communities and cities in over half the countries on earth.

Are you waiting for God, or wanting things from him? What happens when you commit to prayer even when it hurts? This is Pete Greig's gritty, honest account of pain, perseverance, miraculous answers to prayer, and a bold mission that continues today. Red Moon Rising chronicles the 24-7 Prayer movement, exploring how a 1999 prayer room in England multiplied globally to create a movement focusing on mission and justice.

The most powerful thing that can happen in the place of prayer is that you yourself become the prayer.

From Red Moon Rising

You leave the prayer room as Jesus's hands and feet on earth.

From Red Moon Rising

This is what it means to pray continually: to see with the eyes of Jesus and to hear with his ears with every waking moment.
