God at Work #1 - A youth came out to the prayer walk that we were able to encourage. This same youth was at the Sat night campfire and was inspired to come back again and bring someone else.
God at Work #2 - As we were walking, we met up with two people, one in a wheelchair. She was excited to see us because she recognized one of the walkers who had prayed for her recently at the grocery store. She was just telling her friend about this grocery store encounter as we came upon them on the prayer walk. The original prayer for her healing in the grocery story has her believing in faith for it. The group prayed for her and shared Mark 8:21-24 with her.
God at Work #3 - Two other ladies we met on the walk also asked for prayer. We were gladly received as we stepped out in faith in asking people we came across if they needed prayer. We also prayed over 3 churches along our path as well as the "Field of Screams'. There was a great sense of unity and knowing we doing the Lord's will. Come out and be blessed.

Day 8, 5/25/08
God at Work #1 - One of the walkers needed a drink while walking. We stopped at Wendy's but the line was too long. Soon after we resumed walking, we came across a Rita's Italian Ice that was giving out free samples TODAY. God blessed us with something better.
God at Work #2 - We walked by a 'Group Home' in Mountville where the residents welcomed us to come sit on the porch with them. One of the residents recognized a walker because she had previously attended a Sat night campfire/praise time at the walker's home. (See blog for invite to the weekly campfire/praise eve). She was SO excited about this. The residents also recalled meeting us as we handed out fliers for the prayer walk at the National Day of Prayer event held in May at Long's Park.
God at Work #3 - One of the 'Group Home' residents received prayer for her arthritis. The group also prayed for the other residents. We enjoyed the fellowship with them.

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!!

Day 5 - 5/11/08
PRAISE - God held the rain for Day 5 of the prayer walk.
God at Work #1 - Most of our regular walkers went to Israel this week. Being Mother's Day we didn't know how many would come out. God blessed us with 2 new people walking today.
God at Work #2 - As we started with praise before walking, several large birds began to circle above us. The air was calm before we started but as we sang, a big gust of wind came. The presence of the Lord was with us.
God at Work #3 - When the walk ended, we went down by the river to pray. One individual re-dedicated his commitment to the Lord. It was a rich time of sharing testimonies. There was affirmation that future baptisms would take place in this river.

Day 3 - 5/4/08
PRAISE - Warm sunshine and a cool breeze for Day 3 of the prayer walk
- 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. The children pointed out, and everyone agreed, it looked just like an eagle's wing covering the front of the church. There is only one tree on the property and was it was not in a position to cast any shadow.
- God at Work #2 - The same woman said their church was cooperating with another local church to host a combined Bible School this year. She was amazed at the unity between both churches!!
- God at Work #3 - Two people who came for worship were leaving to go to a prayer event at the Chesapeake 'KEY' Bridge. It has been prophesied that revival will break out along the Susquehannna/Chesapeake Bay areas. A set of KEYS were found while walking along River Road. 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.
- God at Work #5 - As we neared the end of the walk and needed some encouragement, we passed a parked car with 3 bumper stickers reading..."Be of good courage", "God's Girl", "Be Strong" kept us going.
