ORISON has been running in a number of schools. Some have used it as part of special weeks of activities, others as a regular week where they focus on prayer.

Steelroots Youth Community in south-west Sheffield ran a Big Brother House to raise money to sponsor Tanzanian Young People through secondary school. The idea was for 7 lads (aged 16-19) to be secluded from the world for 5 days to maintain round-the-clock prayer and complete various fun challenges and tasks. Live footage from the house was streamed on their website: http://steelroots.org.uk/big-brother every evening as well as recorded video diary entries and a daily update video of the challenges and journey of their enterprise.

They have now raised over £1900, which is well over the £1800 needed to support 10 Tanzanian young people for a year in secondary school. But they would be thrilled to raise even more!

La Ruta Roja 2010 was an act of prayerful obedience, prophetic unity and joyful witness to Jesus Christ. Christians from across Tenerife got together, walked down the streets, prayed for their towns, gave out Christian literature and spoke to people about Jesus.

It all started at South Tenerife Christian Fellowship with over 30 people arriving – which was exciting as only 5 had signed up the day before! Very Tenerife!? We walked through Los Cristianos and spoke to passers-by, climbed up The Guaza “Mountain” and turned to pray over Las Americas. Then set off along the coast of South Tenerife praying, singing, chatting and celebrating all that the Lord has done. Eventually we reached Silencio Church, where an amazing table of delicious food was spread before us and bowls of cool water lined up ready for our feet! Bill Jeffrey, the pastor of Silencio Church, had gone into special training so that he could join the walk for the day. Over lunch he was heard to say, “There’s a wonderful feeling of having achieved something important in the Spirit to have walked and prayed all that way. But I’m not sure if I’ll be able to move my legs tomorrow!”
