24-7 Prayer: The Film
A short animation telling the story of 24-7 Prayer, an international movement of prayer, mission and justice that began with a single student-led vigil in Chichester, England in 1999 and has since spread, by word of mouth, into over 100 nations.
The Brief
24-7 Prayer is an international, interdenominational movement of prayer, mission and justice that began with a single, student-led prayer vigil in Chichester, England in 1999 and has spread, by word-of-mouth, into 100+ nations. For more than a decade the global 24-7 Prayer meeting has continued unbroken, impacting locations as diverse as the US Naval Academy, a German punk festival, war-zones and underground churches, the slums of Delhi, the jungles of Papua New Guinea, ancient English cathedrals and even a brewery in Missouri. Cumi was given the privilege of creating this short animation to tell people more about 24-7 Prayer.
What Cumi Created
The film moves through a wide, eclectic run of illustrated vignettes reflecting the movement's reach into every kind of place and life: a top-hatted figure among orbiting satellites, physics equations sketched beside a thoughtful figure, prehistoric cave paintings, a diverse group of children, and a family at home, before closing on a quoted line: "Jesus said… ask anything in my name."
The Film
One vigil. A hundred nations.
