prayer walk
Posted by madameblogalot at 9:27 am in Uncategorized

On January 1, a group of church members who all live in our neighborhood and one adjacent to ours, held a New Year’s Prayer Walk. We began at the first of fourteen houses with each house assigned a scripture passage and related prayer topic. We prayed for specific groups of people and needs within our church family. These ranged from the elders and ministers to widows and shut ins, college students, our need for fiscal responsibility, raising our families, and being good neighbors. We walked and prayed for three hours. It was fun as we walked about to have families of the homes join in, enlarging our group. We were tired, but it was a time of encouragement and refreshment for our souls.

    I posted about the prayer walk, too. I had a couple of prayer requests and a suggestion that it might lead to a virtual prayer ministry. After some thought, I created a new blog for that purpose. If you want to take a look, it is at:

    I have always enjoyed the prayer walks we’ve done with the group here in Singapore. It is a good way to make yourself more aware of the needs in the community around you.

    thanks FFaF! I will go take a look at that! hope it goes well!

    I think that was the inspiration for this Shelly. we have done a “progressive prayer” with our teen group as well. same idea, but not so safe to walk everywhere, so we loaded the vans, drove to the destinations and did the prayers that way. good stuff!
