We are fast heading into the day of Pentecost, and we’re excited to be joining nearly a hundred churches across New Zealand in the Pentecost Prayer Initiative.

Thousands of people will be going to prayer rooms and other prayer gatherings to seek God over these 10 days. Let's be asking God to revive His church and to rewire our culture so the lost will be reached and His kingdom advanced.

Let's pray the ancient prayer, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, here in Aotearoa New Zealand as it is in heaven”

We'd love to see your photos and videos of your prayer gatherings over this time, and also to hear the stories of what God does as we set aside this time to seek him. Please email us your photos, videos and stories to office@thestreet.org.nz

If you're posting to social media, the team at 24/7 prayer would love you to use the hashtag #247prayernz or tag them in your posts @247prayernz.

There is also a daily devotional for the 10 days that 24/7 prayer have produced, which you can check out here

 How do we interact with and love our neighbour when we hold differing values? How do we raise children to be confident in who God has made them to be? Traditional ways of communicating have often taken a defensive or argumentative approach. Jesus was never on the defensive. This seminar will look at how Christians can be confident in their faith while maintaining an openness to others who hold different perspectives and values.

The seminar is targeted at parents, but will be fruitful for anyone involved in raising or working with children or for adults wondering about these questions for themselves in their community or workplace.

Join Richard Black for a seminar titled: 'Cultivating a discipleship mindset to raise the next generation in a diverse world' If you come from a traditional Christian perspective, the changes in our society around gender diversity and sexuality can be confusing and confronting. This seminar will look at how Christians can be confident in their faith while maintaining an openness to others who hold different perspectives and values.
