Part of the movement, are small missional communities known as Boiler Rooms. These Boiler Rooms are kind of like new forms of monastic traditions - combining prayer and practice and a Christ-devoted and Christ-centred life lived out in community with others.
One of these Boiler Rooms is in Kansas City, USA. Their community meets in a variety of ways. One way they do this is through small 'D Groups', that are made up of two or three people to help people pray for each other and be accountable to each other. They go through a simple framework of questions (see more here).
It's a few of these questions that have inspired us to encourage small groups of people to get together regularly to help each other to pray - to have lives impacted by God so that they too may 'go' and impact the world around them with His love.
This excited a small group of people in Gloucester, UK who are part of a small 24-7 prayer community and also help a group called 're:fresh' to nurture and encourage a sense of communion and unity across the city's youth. We hope that these small groups - in neighbourhoods, schools, wherever - may help bridge the gap between the barriers so often experienced by young people within the various congregations of our city. But we'd also love others to join in with this little experiment. So if this excites you too, we'd love to hear from you!
