2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear friend, Thank you so much for financially sowing into 24-7 Prayer Canada this past year. You are indeed helping us help others pray! 2021 was a challenging year for many, including some of the churches and leaders we know and love dearly. Many find around the world are crying out for justice, creation groaning. We have the worst global refugee crisis recorded in history. The gap between the rich and poor is growing; roots of racial injustice are being uncovered worldwide and at home here in Canada. And then there is Jesus. As Pete G. says, "obsessively, dangerously, undeniably Jesus". Fellowship with Him in prayer might seem to be a passive response to the world's most complex issues, but that could not be further from the truth. Meeting with the Living God in prayer is an immense privilege and, ultimately, what we are created to do. As you read the pages ahead with numbers, stories and testimonies from this past year, I want to invite you to celebrate with us! We appreciate and love you!
