“All 24-7 communities have a particular passion to reach out to people who are poor and oppressed. This is outworked in many ways locally and networked together by our Just 24-7 service which supports good practice in action for the poor.” -From the 2020 Vision Document
We are taking the issue of justice seriously and have included Justice initiative as part of our 24-7 Prayer USA national leadership team. At the same time, we understand the outworking of our value for social justice will be an ongoing process that will take time and much trial and error, conversation and prayer. We also desrie to honor the many heroes of the faith that are already living out this value in many ways throughout the global 24-7 Prayer movement.
We will work to inspire, educate and equip the body of Christ, and specifically Boiler Room communities, to gain a deeper understanding of how we are meant to live as disciples of Jesus in relation to those among us who are oppressed by poverty and injustice. We seek to accomplish this through prayer, teaching, practical experience, support in best practices and building partnerships with outside agencies.
We have invited our friend Amanda Siebold to oversee this aspect of our ministry as a leader in the 24-7 Prayer USA National Resource Center. She comes to us from the international Just 24-7 team. Amanda has been working with the Just 24-7 team to develop vision and best practices for the movement’s engagement with social justice issues. As we develop this ministry via 24-7 Prayer USA, you’ll see more details popping up here on our website.
