'For TKC 2020 we felt that this was an important time for Christians across Oxford to gather together online to pray for the city. Working with churches leaders from all denominations, ...we set up a virtual upper room for the city. We were thrilled and encouraged to have over 200 people from at least 27 churches/congregations across Oxford join for prayer for 245 hours. Praise God!’ - Coordinator of the Upper Room, Oxford.’
