Shockwave Event:
Did you know that 2/3 of the world's population live in areas where preaching about Jesus is restricted, and 60% of those are under 18? Every year, Open Doors runs a global prayer focus called Shockwave, aimed at getting young people and students praying for the Persecuted Church over the first weekend in March. As part of this weekend, Open Doors are holding a prayer event on Saturday 7th March at St Aldate's (Oxford) from 7:30-9:30, and young people and students from all over the Oxford area are invited to come along and pray. Bring your mates, your youth group, your family, your entire town or just yourself, and join us!
Find us on Facebook: search for the Shockwave event, join the underground or Open Doors groups, or support the Walk In Their Shoes cause!
