God at Work #1 - Our walk today took as back some beautiful country roads. We ran into a man who had just been to the Sat Night campfire praise that one of our walkers hosts each week in her back yard. He made a comment that "this is what the church is supposed to be doing"....sharing the love of Jesus on the streets by taking church outside the building. We were encouraged by his words of affirmation.
God at Work #2 - We had a chance to walk along the Conestoga creek and felt the Lord prompting us to go put our feet in the water. The burn hazle caused discomfort for some so we asked the Lord to take the itching away from us. Soon after we were feeling fine.

God at Work #1 - Several walkers recently participated in a different prayer walk around Lancaster Co. praying down the strongholds for a 'vow of silence' that the anabaptists had taken many years ago that carried over with them when they migrated from France to America .

We shared the love of Jesus with them and they said they were very blessed by our being there at the right time.

Also, we got to share the prophetic word from Cindy Jacobs, that God is going to start a great move in the Spanish speaking people. They were excited to receive a prayer of blessing over them. We felt unity and a bond with these people, despite that we couldn't communicate without a translator.

After praying, the lady put the CD in a brand new karaoke machine only to find it didn't work. She put it in a 2nd brand-new machine and that one didn't work either. She said, "This never happened before". A patron from the bar came up and asked the lady if she would play karaoke "Amazing Grace" WITHOUT KNOWING WE HAD JUST REQUESTED THAT SAME SONG earlier. God answered our prayers to sing this song. We teamed up with the man and all sang it together. The bar was QUIET and all the patrons were watching as they mouthed the words. We had a chance to mingle with them afterwards. One of the patrons said "the church people never come in here" and kept hugging us. Upon reflecting, we realized the Lord shut down the noises of the bar and TWO karaoke machines so that it was quiet for singing 'Amazing Grace' acappella. The bar tender was beaming and the patrons welcomed us back.

Day 7 - 5/19/08
God at Work #1 - Before starting our walking, we prayed that more youth would join us. As we were walking, God put a group of 3 young men in our path. They said they are in a heavy metal Christian rock band and were excited to hear about the Prayer Walk. We invited them to join us and bring their instruments to worship with us.
God at Work #2 - We had enough time at the end of our walk to worship in music and enjoy a beautiful sunset. A group that went to Israel gave testimony of incredible miracles that took place on their trip. Too many to write about, but join the walk and we will share the stories with you. God is good!
Testimony: One of the college students on the prayer walk received back his PHEAA state grant. Bad news - he is going to receive $1,000 less for next year. Instead of being discouraged, he submitted it to the Lord. His mom started praying over this year's grades because a 3.2 GPA was required to keep the scholorships. Since he received a 'C' in one class his grade point average would drop. A miracle was needed to keep the scholorships. Five minutes after praying, his mom could hear her son ringing a bell shouting "Praise the Lord". He found out his grades on the internet were all A's (besides the 'C') which was a miracle because the classes were extremely difficult to get an A in. This rounded the GPA to 3.2 which will allow him to keep both scholorships for 2009. PRAISE THE LORD!!

- God at Work #1 - A parishner of the church we prayed for on Day 1, shared a story about the "eagle wings and Isaiah 40:31" theme. This church used this same scripture in teaching recently one Sun am. A picture of the children sitting on the front steps of the church was taken that day. A large shadow appears in the picture.

We will be able to identify the owner by taking the keychain store card to the supermarket. Pray for a divine appointment to share the gospel when we return the keys.
- God at Work #4 - Three different groups on the Day 3 walk were able to pray for a man sitting outside. We are believing in faith for his healing of diabetes. He was encouraged.

Day 2 - 4/28/08
PRAISE - As we met to begin our journey for Day 2 of the prayer walk, rain was in the forecast; however, the clouds parted and the sun peeked out at 7 pm. The rain had stopped just prior to gathering.
- God at Work #1 - Two people came with guitars who never played together before and the music was beautiful. They started with the song 'Holy, Holy, Holy'. One guitarist shared that she had seen what appeared to be an eagle and felt God was using that to prompt her to come since the Eagle wings are part of the theme for this prayer walk.
- God at Work #2- Not long after the singing began, a train came through 50 ft behind us. Part of the cargo included approx. 100+ brand new John Deer and HI combines used by farmers for HARVESTING this fall. (It has been prophesied that revival will take place along the Susquehanna river.) These combines were a reminder for a coming HARVEST of souls for God's Kingdom.
- God at Work #3- Someone shared a testimony about a dead branch that had broken off a tree in their back yard several months ago. The branch was pulled into a dry area until Winter was over. They brought the branch to the prayer walk to show others the unusual 'Y' shape and the new life/budding taking place on this 'dead' branch. Being involved with landscaping, he had never heard or seen a dead branch giving new buds before.
DAY 1 - 4/27/08
- God at Work #1 - As people arrived, a man in the parking lot pointed out 2 eagles perched in a tree in the area. (Eagles are part of the theme)
- God at Work #2- On Sunday a violinist came to share a new song just written..... Without no prior knowledge about the theme, the lyrics were about Eagles. As we sang this song there were 2 eagles soaring above!
- God at Work #3 -The first stop along the walk was at Washington Boro UM Church. After singing a few hymns, several Eagles were soaring above us.
One family shared a testimony of a dangerous kidney transplant and God's faithfulness to their 3 generations represented there that day.
Another person showed up who didn't think she could attend due to her husband's long-term illness. God gave her a Word from the Bible to encourage those on the journey. She went home to get her husband so he could be encouraged by the praise and worship.
