INSPIRATION Church is inviting people to join them at a special prayer event at Wembley Stadium in London.

Saturday September 29 is the National Day of Prayer across the UK. As part of a recent drive to use football stadiums as prayer venues, it is the aim of the Global Day of Prayer organisers to fill Wembley Stadium with 80,000 Christians from across the country.

The Rev Mike Davies from the church said: 'This is going to be a historic and unforgettable day as 80,000 Christians stand side by side and pray for Britain. It is our intention to get as many people from Okehampton involved as possible.'

The church is organising churches from Okehampton to London, and anyone interested in attending can call Mr Davies on 07771 933718. Tickets into the stadium cost £10 and additional costs will be incurred for travel.

The coaches leave Okehampton at 7.30am and will return the same day at around 11pm, with demand expected to be high.
