Hernhut - a community 24 hour prayer center September 23, 2009

From September 24 to September 27, college and young adult ministries from around Columbus will join together to run a city-wide prayer center. This is a way for every church, every denomination and every age to impact the community with prayer. (Organized by The Door, Collision College Ministry, and Chi Alpha CSU.)

The kick off is a worship service Thursday night starting at 7:30 p.m. Ending service will be Sunday night at 8:00 p.m.

What's with the name?
After the murder of the Bohemian reformer, John Huss, a group of young people fled the region to establish a colony on the estate of a wealthy German believer. This group of twenty somethings called the village HERNHUT.

One night the small group of bellievers began praying. God showed up and they continued 24/7 for over a hundred years. From that village in Germany, they would sell themselves into slavery in order to bring the gospel to the furthest reaches of the world.

Now it is our mission. Love God - Love People. The village is ours.
