One of the memorable features and purposes of the annual Keswick Convention in days gone by were the early morning prayer meetings.
Queues formed at the crack of dawn at the two venues — the church in Southey Street had an overflow outside in the street — as earnest believers of many nationalities shared spontaneous, audible intercession for the work of the Lord Jesus Christ worldwide.

During my attendance over the past 60 years (not annually) those corporate gatherings have ceased. This year however, the programme for the first week of the convention included, ‘by popular request’, two prayer meetings scheduled to commence at 7.00 am.
