Day 23, 8/3

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 . The 'vow of silence' included an agreement with the French to farm their land in exchange for their vow to not share their faith (evangelize).

As our prayer walkers began walking today from a Millersville church we found a ground marker/plack which talked about a Mennonite Evangelical church that previously occupied this site.

God a Work #2 - We had the opportunity to pray for a nearby resident that she would be healed and able to walk again. Her flag had an eagle on it.

God at Work #3 - We prayer walked around 3 churches we came to in our path today. Along the path was a site that one of the walkers felt we need to have concentrated prayer. After a fewe minutes a sign was found indicating it was a Masonic lodge.

God at Work #4 - One walker felt we needed to bring the walk to an end earlier than expected. As we returned back to our starting point, a minor motorcycle accident had just occurred and we were able to pray with the persons involved. Being shook up, the rider didn't feel comfortable riding the bike home. One of the walkers volunteered to take the bike to their house for them to pick up later. We shared the love of Jesus with them and they said they were very blessed by our being there at the right time.
