about prayerscapes
Prayerscapes has been born out of
Revelation Family Church, England (where
www.24-7prayer.com all began) and is both a personal and corporate expression of journeying with God and his people. It seeks to reflect the creative God we worship through the creation of contemporary soundtracks, short films and new prayers for daily living.
Thousands of people come each month here to pray, watch the online films and listen to the soundtracks. Prayerscapes films and resources have been used at national conferences (such as the
New Wine and
Spring Harvest celebrations in the UK) and across the world in churches, prisons, hospitals, schools and even at Hawaiian wedding ceremonies! Our youtube channel has recently clocked over 8 million views -
