‘We’re seeing people come to know Jesus more easily than we were five years ago’

God is doing something new in the UK, says Pete Greig, founder of 24-7 Prayer. Young people are more open to faith. Public intellectuals are turning to Christ. Let’s be encouraged and keep praying for revival to come

For a quarter of a century, we’ve been praying nonstop, night and day, in over 100 nations. I describe myself as the ‘bewildered’ leader of 24-7 Prayer because I’ve been in a constant state of bewilderment - for 25 years now - and its actually getting worse. 

I’m bewildered by the fact that God can use idiots like us. I’m bewildered by the fact that God answers prayer - that always surprises and encourages me. I’m bewildered by the fact that we started just one prayer room and now we’re in over 100 nations. It was never planned. We never expected it.
