What the money would go towards: A creative studio space to develop a hub for prayer, justice and mission in Bogotá, emphasising themes around visual arts and peace-building in Colombia. The studio will be the first step towards creating a whole house of prayer in the city. The amount raised will cover a year’s rent.
Target amount: £7,500
Prayer point: We would like prayer for God’s direction on finding the right place for the studio, for it to become a place where people can rest and take a deep breath of fresh air in such a big and busy city. Also, for a team to join us around building 24-7 Prayer Colombia and for perseverance.

How it works
How it works
The tradition of The Gathering Auction goes back further than we care to remember, and is unlike anything you will have experienced before.
The best way to sum it up in one word is OUTRAGEOUS.
It is an opportunity for outrageous giving to some highly worthy causes connected with 24-7 Prayer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I bid?
We want everyone to be involved, but please only donate what you can afford to give. We’re encouraging outrageous generosity, but if you give £1 or £1000, you are still a star in our eyes.
Can I donate towards more than one item?
Of course! Donate towards as many items as many times as you like but, as hard as it may be, try not to get too carried away!
Where does my money go?
Each lot will support a different cause, and all causes are listed on the website. ALL the money received from the donations will go to that cause.
