Hugh Marcus is married to Pamela and they have five grown up children. They\u2019ve also fostered vulnerable children for nearly 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hugh is one of a \u2018gang of of four\u2019 who are stewarding a prayer movement around their local town of Ballymena. One of the Group\u2019s main activities is Crack of Dawn \u2013 which is an early morning prayer gathering. The group meets to pray strategically on the streets every Wednesday morning at 6.30am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most beautiful things that has come from this group is a growing sense of unity. Typically around 15 churches are represented weekly, from right across the spectrum, including members of a Catholic Community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hugh says that growing tighter in unity and learning from each other\u2019s traditions has been one of the main things that\u2019s deepened personal relationships and strengthened the group. As well as blessing, there\u2019s been challenges and criticism from some quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However the Group continues to grow and solidify as they continue to pray for the local community with all its social needs, especially drugs and criminality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3317,"template":"","class_list":["post-3316","contributors","type-contributors","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gathering.24-7prayer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributors\/3316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gathering.24-7prayer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributors"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gathering.24-7prayer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/contributors"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gathering.24-7prayer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gathering.24-7prayer.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
