Enniskillen Youth Mission… fund-raising breakfast April 23, 2010
Posted by connz in Events, Local.add a comment
We would like to invite you to a fundraising breakfast in aid of this summer’s Enniskillen Youth Mission. The Mission takes place during June and July 2010, bringing together a number of different events, teams and organisations.
We are fundraising to cover the costs of the accommodation, food and resources needed for the various teams over the nine weeks. We are also planning to take a coach load of young people to Summer Madness for an evening of fun, music, and teaching. For those of you who don’t know, Summer Madness is a huge Christian youth event attended by over 4,000 people each year. It takes place at the Kings Hall for 5 days at the beginning of July each year, and we want to take 50 youth to experience it, but it will cost us more than £1,000 (tickets and coach hire) to do so.
The breakfast costs £10 per person and takes place in the Saddlers’ Restaurant on Saturday 1st May beginning at 8am. To book please e-mail us at eyfc@btinternet.com.
If you are unable to attend, then can we be bold and ask you to consider sponsoring a team in our World Cup Sponsorship? We are looking for 32 individuals or businesses to donate a minimum of £50, and each sponsor will be drawn a team (country) taking part in the World Cup finals. We intend to show every World Cup match live on a big screen in the Methodist Church Hall and at every game we will announce the sponsors of each team. The further a team progresses in the competition, the more publicity a sponsor will get. The two sponsors representing the finalists will each receive 4 complimentary tickets to the EYFC event at the Ardhowen Theatre on Friday 17th September.
We do hope that you will be able to support us.
Yours in Christ,
Karl Saunders

A Call to 24-7 Prayer for Europe March 20, 2010
Posted by connz in 24-7 International, Events.add a comment
Here’s an article by Lyndall Bywater- it’s too good an opportunity to miss if you ask me!
Remember: the only way we can raise up “a faceless army of young people” is if we lift up our voices and cry out to the Father… He can’t answer our hearts desire if we don’t ask of it, so why don’t we sign up for a prayer slot? Or why don’t we take up the challenge and run a prayer room as we’ve done in the past? Being part of a prayer room in the past is great, but if it’s not affecting up presently, has it had any impact on us at all? Just think about it, I’m speaking to myself here too… connie :]
“Dry bones hear the word of the Lord…I will put my Spirit in you and you will live and I will settle you in your land.” (Ezekiel 37)
Twenty years ago, Pete Greig stood on Cape St Vincent praying towards Europe, envisioning ‘a faceless army of young people in every nation awaiting orders’
Ten years ago a continuous prayer movement exploded among young people, and spread like ‘wildfire’ across Europe through years of prayer, mission teams to dark places, and Boiler Rooms of intense prayer and mission.
Last year 200 of us gathered in Amsterdam from 16 European nations and God spoke! Now is the time for a new day for Europe, and we start on our knees in the place of prayer. If the presence of the Lord is not with us then we can do nothing.
Europe is the prodigal continent!
In just a few short generations we have squandered our God-given heritage. However, we may have left the Father, but He has not left us. Within 24-7 Prayer we firmly believe that this is a ‘kairos’ moment of opportunity for Europe. The Father is calling us to ‘rekindle the romance’ and return to His embrace in the place of prayer. He is also calling us to ‘recover the ground’ through Spirit energised action. God does not inspire so much prayer for fun. He is raising up an army that will follow the Holy Spirit wherever He leads us.
Dare we dream of fresh waves of mission and church planting?
Dare we pray for the raising up of workers to establish ‘colonies of heaven’ in the darkest, unreached places?
Dare we imagine an expression of church for every culture, tribe and tongue in Europe.
The vision is simple – a worldwide season of 24-7 Prayer for Europe. Urgently and unashamedly we want to call people around the world to pray for the prodigal continent – we need your help.
If you are a European Christian, whether in Greece, Russia, Spain, Iceland or anywhere in between, we want to ask you to give some time each week to pray for your continent. If you are elsewhere, like the first Macedonians, we want to urgently call you to ‘come over and help us’ in prayer. We want to call the hundreds and thousands but also the two’s and three’s and lone pray-ers to join us – everyone can play their part. We need your help.
The vision is an army of love, power and humility which exists to see a continent return to the Father’s love. The dream is that the glory of the latter ‘house’ in Europe will eclipse anything we have seen so far. The starting place is on our knees – please join us in praying 24-7 for Europe.
When?
Friday 26th March 2010 – Sunday 26th September 2010
Where?
Wherever you are …wherever in the world … you can take part!
How?
Start out at the web site:
http://www.24-7prayer.com/signup/europe
(A new European website to support the season of Prayer will be launched shortly)
Then do any or all of the following:
Sign up to receive our inspiring and informative weekly emails, to help fire up your prayers for Europe.
Sign up to pray! You can register as a Prayer Room, a church, a prayer group or just as yourself. You can pray once, you can pray once a week or you can pray once a day throughout the 6 months …however little or however much, Europe needs your prayers.
Check out the resources section on the site to get info on every country in Europe, as well as some of 24-7 Prayer’s excellent resources on how to pray creatively.
Tune in to the voices of 21st-century saints with a heart for Europe. What are they saying about why we need to pray right now?
… and then tell us what you can see God doing in this prodigal continent. Encourage us with your stories and challenge us with your dreams.
“Stand with us wherever you are in the world and lets pray together. Let’s pray for revival, lets pray for God to move in Europe, lets pray for God to get hold of hearts, lets pray for new leaders to be raised up in every field of society. We have an opportunity, let’s gather together and seize it!” Pete Greig, 24-7 International

I tagged along on 24-7 Prayer Ireland’s pilgrimage trip last week. We visited prayer rooms and prayer warriors in Newtownards, Ballymena, Colleraine, Dungannon and Armagh. As the trip continued I could feel something mounting, I felt that there was something waiting for us at the end of our pilgrimage. There’s something significant about the Day of Prayer being in Armagh. During the time I was away I felt God saying that it was great that His Church, His people, were taking ownership of prayer rooms but at the end of the day He has ultimate ownership.
Copy and paste the link to find out a bit more about our road-trip… http://24-7prayerireland.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=113&Itemid=1
Here’s a letter from Transformations Ireland… prayerfully consider it. Seriously consider supporting the work of Transformations Ireland as well as joining them in prayer on Sunday the 23rd of May. Check out http://www.transformations-ireland.org/ for more info… connie :]
To all our friends and supporters!
We hope this letter finds you in a place of encouragement.
This year on Pentecost Sunday 23rd May as part of the Global Day of Prayer initiative we are asking Christians from across Ireland to gather together in Armagh to pray for our land and for the church. As with the previous large gatherings at Stormont we feel the timing and need for this coming together is something God has put on our hearts to do. We are also encouraging people to take part in 10 Days of Prayer preceding Pentecost Sunday and 90 Days of RAK – Random Acts of Kindness following Pentecost.
We are writing to you to ask for your help as we move forward in our planning for these “Global Day of Prayer 2010″ events. You are probably aware that in 2005 and 2006 over 10,000 people gathered to worship and pray at Stormont as we joined with nations throughout the world as part of the then new initiative. Indeed these were historic events for us here in Northern Ireland and since then we have been encouraged to see our Assembly back in action. From 2007 to 2009 Transformations Ireland have helped encourage and facilitate GDOP events and the 10 Days of Prayer at local level bringing people from across the Christian community together to join with the rest of the globe as we pray for our own nation and our world.
We have been thankful for all of the individuals, churches, businesses and other organisations who have contributed financially, and made it possible to run with this vision for the last 5 years. This event has a financial implication and we need to raise £20,000 this year. We would ask therefore if you would prayerfully consider whether you could assist us financially at this time. Any contribution will be appreciated and gratefully received, cheques payable to Transformations Ireland. As we have charity status, we are grateful also to individuals who are able to “gift-aid” their contributions.
Thank you for taking time to read this.
Yours sincerely
Margaret Clarke
(Secretary to the committee)
Day of Prayer February 28, 2010
Posted by connz in Events, Local.add a comment
If anyone’s interested a prayer team from outside of Fermanagh have organised a Day of Prayer for our county this Friday as well as on Saturday at the Stables. It’s exciting to see that Christians outside of our area have been burdened for Fermanagh, particularly Enniskillen. God’s up to something for sure!
On Friday (5th March) there’s a time of prayer starting at 12pm as well as an evening session at 8pm. Then there’s three sessions this coming Saturday (6th March). The first one’s from 10am to 12.30pm before breaking for lunch. The second time period is from 2pm to 4.30pm, before the final session from 8pm to 10pm.
It would be great if you could join us in prayer at any (or all!) of these times of prayer. When we come together in prayer and share in unity God is pleased to pour out His blessing upon us. If that doesn’t serve as a motivation I don’t know what will!
If you want to know more feel free to contact me and I can give you more details… constance-anne@hotmail.co.uk
Lakeland’s Prayer Gathering February 13, 2010
Posted by connz in Events, Local.add a comment
We have been really excited about what God has been doing through the 24-7 prayer movement in the Methodist church over the last number of years and in particular in the last year. We know that this brings things to celebrate, struggles and disappointments and we’d love as a team (representing DYCW, MWI, Home Missions and Chaplaincies) to gather people in various areas around the country to hear stories, share highlights and low lights, ask and answer questions and to share and test future hopes and dreams.
Thursday 25th February 2010, in Darling Street Church Hall (Assembly Room) at 8.00pm.
So this is for you if you’ve been involved in running a prayer room in your church/community/school, been in a prayer room or are interested in what this 24-7 stuff is all about!
“I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest….” Isaiah 62v6
happy 10th birthday 24-7! February 7, 2010
Posted by connz in Events.add a comment
As you begin this new decade you may not know that this year marks the 1Oth Birthday of 24-7 prayer.
In ten short years, 24-7prayer rooms have spread like a virus from humble beginnings on the South Coast of England into more than 100 nations around the world.
One of those nations being Ireland and the journey here has been incredible. Hundreds of people have prayed non-stop, hundreds of prayer rooms have been set up in a range of locations in which many people were loved, inspired, listened to, rescued, served and given a voice, churches united, mission was birthed, roadtrips and Ibiza trips taken and the most amazing thing is each person has there own story and experience that 24-7 has brought them on.
We want to mark this moment 24-7 prayer’s tenth birthday party with our own celebration with people like yourself who have been apart of 24-7 prayer here in Ireland to come together to celebrate and share all that God has done and yet to do!!
We will hear some stories from the first 24-7prayer rooms in Ireland, worship together and of course have a birthday cake & balloons! It will be a great nights craic and a chance for us to hang out together.
The details are:
Wednesday 17th February
Aldersgate House (University Rd)
7.30pm
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE CONTACT ME AND I’LL PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE 24-7 PRAYER IRELAND TEAM…
