This event is open to all young people from Year 8 up to age 18. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been involved with Spark Ballymena or not. You are welcome to come and pray for Ballymena, for your schools, for your friends, family and neighbours. A great opportunity to meet with other Christians from the local area to pray together. To thank God for what He has done in the Ballymena area. Also to pray with others about the issues affecting you, your friends and the area where you live and go to school in.

The Spark 24-7 Ballymena Prayer Relay is a 24 hour prayer time for young people from Ballymena and beyond to pray together. It takes place from 7:30pm on Friday 4th November to 7:30pm on Saturday 5th November.

As the name suggests, the Spark 24-7 Ballymena Prayer Relay means young people taking ‘shifts’ of 1 or 2 hours each. There will be a dedicated and specially decorated space made available in First Ballymena for this event. The Launch Service gets the 24 hour prayer relay started. This service will include acoustic worship, a short talk and a commissioning of the prayer relay itself. Everyone will then break up into small prayer groups. There will be a musical worship interlude every two hours.
