Prayer Walking and Growing the Church toward Community Transformation

A fellow colleague in ministry and a dear friend and brother in Christ, Chris Walker led a workshop this past week at the Transformation Pastors Gathering presented by the PCUSA Office of Congregational Transformation.  In his recent blog post on EvangelismCoach.org
Chris writes about a missional activity involving intercessory prayers
in motion that has been referred to as "prayer walking": praying on
site with insight.  My wife Melissa and I have participated together
with others in this endeavor in the neighborhoods and communities of
our past two congregations and have seen God move mightily in our
midst.  We sensed the Lord's call earlier this past year to begin doing
this at our current church congregation and are excited to watch what
Jesus does (WWJD) and is already doing among us as we walk anew and
seek His face together in faith.  May God be pleased to pour out the
Holy Spirit's powerful anointing and reveal the Lord's favor and
presence with, in, and over us in these days.  That times of refreshing
and transformation may come upon our fellowship for God's glory and the
common good in our community.
