Friendship prayer-walk

21 February 2007 - North Shore City

I will soon be reaching 100 000 in the "Praying for ONE MILLION to be saved in NZ"!
As an extension of that prayer, I am planning a prayerwalk throughout North Shore City - from Devonport Wharf in the South all the way to Torbay in the North and then round and back down South to end in Northcote.
I plan to start at 0600 from Devonport Wharf and prayerfully walk my way from church to church, praying at each building for 15 minutes, and finally ending at 1800.

I have a limited list of churches which I would love to expand in time; but for now, 18 churches will keep me busy for 12 hours and 15 minutes.

- 18 churches of different denominations
- 12 hours
- 45 kilometers
- 1 prayer for the church, the bride of Christ to be holy and in unity

What a Friend we have in Jesus
... is what I pray over New Zealand, and I have this vision
+ More unity among the "Bride of Christ"
+ A million souls to be saved in New Zealand
+ Revival

The Lord has been reminding me in the past weeks of the song "What a friend we have in Jesus".
In fact I feel burdened to sing it over this wonderful country, and I do as I walk through the streets daily.
... And that is what this prayer-walk is about ... people reaching hands. Across all barriers which may separate us from unity in the love of Christ.

Although this is not a public event, I would welcome any members of all churches to walk (prayerfully stroll) some of the sections with me ... especially between your church and your neighbour's - as we reach out to our church neighbours in prayer (indeed a great blessing).

This is a wonderful opportunity to come and speak blessing into your neighbouring churches and even meet the folks.

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
