Prayer Walk

This past month, a group of us started to take prayer walks in our neighbourhoods.  Simply put, we walked about two blocks.  With an undivided attention, we observed beauty and brokenness, such as clean yards and empty lots.  On one occasion, just as we turned the first corner, we met an elderly man coming out of his home and our conversation revealed a little of his personality.  Before we were done, we prayed for a home which had a cross embedded in its gable end...near the peak.  And at that very moment, the home owners came out to thank us for praying.  They also began to tell us their journey, which included the salvation story of the husband's father on his death bed just recently.  All in all, the prayer walk was another creative way to help us understand the places in which we live. Walking your neighbourhood with prayerful purpose is highly recommended and is an easy thing to do.
