When I was last in Malta one woman said to me, "Prayer (or time with the Father) is like our food, we cannot live without it." Jesus understood this well and in fact fashioned His radical life in such a way that communion with his Father became fuel for His heart for “ I only do what the Father has spoken to me”. Sitting before the flame of God’s heart of love for us, the revelation of the gospel and how amazing it is moves us to a place of mission, of loving others. “ For He first loved us”.

The prayer room may not be open 24 hours a day 7 days a week... yet.

There are prayer rooms going on all the time around the world and Malta is joining them in prayer. They are not all going 24-7, but many simple people like us setting aside some time to pray as a community, to cross paths. Many are involved in reaching out to the poor and within culture. I have a friend who became a Christian in a prayer room because He felt God’s presence there. In Canada, we have also done prayer rooms in homeless shelters/ rehab centres and have seen the beautiful , raw and desperate prayers of those struggling for survival. God is meeting people where they are at and there are many more prayers to be answered in all of our communities.

It takes a whole community to pray, even if you only have a little bit of time. God’s heart is moved by our prayers, not by what we do for Him, but he is able to reveal his heart towards us and therefore towards humanity.

IDEAS to be involved:
Encourage people to bring youth groups or small group to the prayer room, set aside some time for this. If you wish to inquire on the availability of the room for overnight, 24-hour, or weekend prayer/worship vigils--contact us.

Okay, I will leave it at that. We are excited to see what God will do. Any questions send them our way.

Love much, God Bless
