Living in a prayer ...

That was the first challenge at daybreak ... The "13 August" prayerwalk through Brixton, Auckland Park, Melville started with challenge of opening in a prayer and not saying the usual "amen" at the end ... but keeping it for later; while then being aware that we were all "living and walking" in that prayer. (That was quite a challenge) As many people took part, so many testimonies there could be written here ... but here is mine: I up-front asked the leader of the first church what would be the thing they want prayer for, the most. Wisdom to know how to be effective in that changing society. Then the sun rose ... and off we went. As we gathered at the second church - the question was asked ... Did anyone feel to pray for something in particular. And that would be the pattern throughout the walk. AND that would be part of what we learned today - to walk and let the Lord guide us into specific areas of intercession. The second church was where we prayed for

13 Churches ... 13 August ... 13 Prayerwalks ... ONE PRAYER

Do you see the constant golden thread through this all ... ONE PRAYER "Did you feel the earth tremble when the saints together sang one song when they prayed one same prayer ..." Starting at sunrise, August 13, we will walk from church to church through Brixton, Auckland Park and Melville. There are 13 churches on the route and each section of the walk connects 2 churches. You can join in at any section walking and praying as the Lord leads you. Scroll down for the map as well as the 13 sections and time-slots. You are welcome to join in at any time-slot ... Here is space for encouraging comments. Please share with us if the Lord lays anything on your heart; by clicking on the "Comments" link below.

The invitation I make to members of those churches is that if they feel the area needs prayer, they can join in at any of the sections on the route. There are various distances - ranging from 100 meters onwards. A real exciting thing in this is that they may meet someone from a different church who prays the same as they do. But the most exciting will be that we will go out onto the streets, walking and talking to the Lord. Some prayers are prayed just under our breath like a whisper, some just in our thoughts and some out loud and some even in song and some even just as the Holy Spirit leads us ... I encourage them just to come and pray as they feel comfortable. I tell you this because you can be part of this ... even though many of the names on this mailing list are in countries all over the world - we know the Lord is not b
