There is currently an international movement of literally thousands of prayer watches that are being established right across the world. Practical guidelines to start 1. Congregations are encouraged to start with a 24-hour prayer watch one day per week. When the first day is full, the chain can be strengthened to a second 24-hour chain on the same day. The hours in the prayer watch can be filled by individuals, prayer groups, cell groups, Bible study groups, youth groups etc.
Groups can each take one hour.
Also provide for groups that want to take two hours. If 24-hours is a too heavy start, start with a chain of 12 or 18 hours. For others it will be better to use a 14 day cycle. Where people are praying at home, coordinators can contact them once a month to check if they are still ok and to hear what the Lord is saying to them. Prayer Information 1.
