Newsflash:  "Calling all intercessors to join us at an International Prayer Centre during the Olympics."

The Call: We invite intercessors throughout the world to come to the Vancouver area during the Winter Olympics (Feb. 12-28, 2010) to join in prayer for God's purposes during this critical time.  Come for any portion of this time period as we intercede for this strategic gateway city, its call to the nations, and the specific opportunity to offer hospitality that the Church in the Vancouver region is rising up to meet.

The Vision: The Keats Island International Prayer Centre is a short term effort to mobilize intercessory prayer support for the Vancouver region, Canada, and the nations during the Winter Olympics from Feb 12 – 28, 2010, and especially for the hospitality ministries of 'More Than Gold', (the interdenominational group that is coordinating the churches in the Metro Vancouver Area).  A seasoned leadership team will provide a variety of forms and opportunities for focused prayer throughout each day.

Location: Keats Island is located in Howe Sound, approximately 15 miles (24 kilometres) northwest of Vancouver, opposite the town of Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast. Travel time is as little as 15 minutes by seaplane or a maximum of 60 minutes by ferry and/or charter boat from the BC Ferry terminal of Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver.                                                                                                           

Using the facilities of both Keats Camps and Barnabas Family Ministries on Keats Island, we will provide meals, beds, and transportation in one of Canada’s most beautiful locations. There will also be televised Olympic game coverage available.
