  • Onkaparinga 24-7 Prayer Room commenced in September 2007
    working party(headed up by Captain Robert Evans) which consists of ministers and members of the local churches in Noarlunga are on a faith venture, by opening a community 24-7 prayer room. The way this has come about is incredible, and has been an absolute faith venture by the working party. They are setting up this communal prayer room in one of the most difficult, and disadvantaged areas within their community. It willl be located in a group of shop fronts, one of which is the corps thrift shop. To gain the finances to be able to do this the local community of faith has "stepped up" by providing funds for this to happen.

    Captain Robert Evans writes: "Tomorrow, (24th September) we move into our new prayer room which will now be located in Shop 4, Cnr. Melsetter & Lindisfarne Rd.'s Huntfield Heights. We are holding our Opening (after 7 weeks of praying) on Thursday night with a combined churches prayer meeting - it will be awesome!! We now have our own website for people to register a timeslot on-line. It is still a work in progress (particularly the registration process), but it is looking great, check it out:" www.24-7prayeronkaparinga.com.

    Latest news: The Prayer Room has been functioning continually from September 2007. They are now in their six month of non-stop prayer
