JNI 634 - What happens when a city unites to pray 24-7-365? When young people are calling the various churches to join together to pray non-stop for a whole year? The Slovakian capital Bratislava is six months into just such a crazy prayer experiment.

Peter Cernak reports on the effect it's having and the challenge still to come. "God gave me a vision for a year of prayer where Christians from all churches and communities would be invited to participate," he said. "At first I was intimidated by the idea. But when we began to spread the vision throughout the churches, the response was positive and every denomination got onboard. We took the plunge and launched 24-7-365 in September 2007. So far we've prayed together for more than 4,000 hours and God has been speaking to us."

Like most 24-7 prayer rooms, the location in Croatia has several interactive installations that are guiding people's prayers.
