One prayer for a whole busload - and for YOU

55,517 motorists prayed for since 6 November 2006.
(Distance walked: 330 km)


As I passed a bus, full of passengers, I was so encouraged to know I had a few seconds to pray for all of them.

Encouraged, because I know that God (who knows the number of hairs on my head) knows the passengers each one intimately. For some He is waiting ... With some He is communing ... and in that short prayer I prayed, He could touch each one of them ...

Our God is an awesome God - He who knows even the stars by name ... It is not too difficult for Him to hear a prayer for a whole busload of people and then know them by name and their needs - it is a bit mind-blowing to think about that. But it grows your faith!

Psalm 147:4 (NIV)
 4 He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.

So He knows your deepest thoughts, dear reader as I pray for you now ...

Father,
As I pray for this person right now, I ask that You will reach in as his/her "will" allows you now

... to touch that heart with Your loving kindness

... and to lift those burdens which keeps pulling downwards

... and to fill those empty holes

... and to warm that the very deepest corners in this heart which needs to be revived for You, Lord

... and I ask Lord that You will let him/her experience Your closeness
yes, Your very presence right now

... and Lord I pray that You fill their hearts with Your PEACE right now ... even as he/she reads this right now.

Lord God, You have created all those stars - and You know them by name
I ask that who-ever reads this, (and who You know by name), will be touched so deeply right now,
that they will not be able to keep it for themselves, but share it with someone they know.

Bless them

I ask this in Jesus' name
amen

The pastors-puzzle prayer-walk

Standing at the closed gate of Fisherman's Village, I needed to phone reception to open the gate. The sun was bright and I couldn't see the screen of my phone clearly. I pressed the wrong button and dialled the wrong number. William answered - he is one of two pastors who I met during a recent Holy Spirit conference - we were both delegates! It was good to hear his voice and we had a short chat. The gate opened and I entered the main office. There was a visitor - another delegate from the conference. The other of the two pastors whom I met at the conference! Both of the two pastors - not only brought to my remembrance, but brought into contact in person! How WOW is that ... Coincidence? I don't think so! ... and now I am inviting you to follow me online in my quest to see what God has in mind for me and the 2 pastor friends. Prayer-walking from William's house in Soweto to Pitso's place off the Dikhololo road on the other side of Brits. On the previous

"Ancient wells" Prayerwalk

After prayerwalking from Kimberley to Gariep dam with that profound first day spanning 66km to the centre of South Africa, Father laid on my heart to do another prayerwalk: Kimberley to Kuruman. To my question "What is in Kuruman", He answered I should do some research. Keeping in mind that the 66 books point to the bible and how I felt to pray that the bible will become central again. Actually more than central - the centre and the cornerstone in schools, business, government, and even many churches. Where Petrusburg was first founded in the middle of South Africa, the fountain dried up. The town was relocated to its current position 20 km away. The fountain in the middle of South Africa dried up! Kuruman, in the dry expanse of the Kalahari basin boasts an inexhaustible sweetwater fountain.  It has never dried out, even in the longest drought periods. It produces 20 million litres of water  daily. The first bible in Africa was p

13 Churches ... 13 August ... ONE Prayer

I am organising a prayerwalk through a local community. I have counted and included 13 churches on the route and we will pray for each church as we pass them by. 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
