A beach
Step out of the traffic

In a world where there is

nonstop noise and busyness,

where we are constantly connected to others,

where we never switch off,

we long for a space to pause,

to step out of the traffic,

a space to be still,

to reflect,

to pray,

to be.

PAUSE creates that space

The Van

About Us

PAUSE is a Christian organisation providing a mobile prayer and reflection space in a van! The van can be borrowed and used by local churches and organisations to enable them to facilitate prayer and reflection spaces in their own context - in schools, work places, town centres and at community events.
