Personal Prayer

BBC One - Songs of Praise, Personal Prayer

Katherine Jenkins reflects on personal prayer with young Christians in East Sussex.

Katherine Jenkins reflects on personal prayer with young Christians in East Sussex, while Gemma Hunt hears how prayer changed the life of the founder of 24-7 Prayer.

On the third Sunday of Lent, Katherine Jenkins explores the theme of prayer with young Christians living at Ashburnham Place in East Sussex, a Christian prayer centre. She hears how resource director Hannah Latty and her team incorporate different forms of prayer into their community life, and how they have experienced answered prayers. Gemma Hunt meets Pete Greig from the 24-7 Prayer movement to find out how prayer changed his life. 

To mark the upcoming International Women’s Day, Katherine hears the remarkable story of two Christian sisters, Eglantyne Jebb and Dorothy Buxton, whose pioneering work led to the formation of the charity Save the Children, as well as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. 

In Leeds, community campaigner Marvina Newton reveals how persistent prayer helped to save her from poverty and homelessness. Hymns and songs, old and new, come from across the UK, including When I Needed a Neighbour, Cornerstone, Take My Life and Let It Be, and My Jesus My Saviour.
