Day 17 , 6/23/08
God at Work #1 - A lady who lived at a nearby apartment community allowed us to pray for her severe back pain. After praying with her she said the pain was almost all gone and minimal. She was able to bend her back which would have caused her pain before.

Day 15, 6/16/08
God at Work #1 - A severe thunderstorm warning was announced prior to our walk beginning. Around the time we start our walk, the sun came out and the storm blew over us. NO rain in sight.
God at Work #2 - One of the walkers felt the Lord wanted us to go inside a local restaurant. Shortly after arriving, a connection was made with some patrons sitting adjacent to us. It turns out the couple pastors a church in Columbia. They shared our vision regarding a revival to take place in this area and were extremely excited about the prayer walk. Email addresses were exchanged as we recognized this as a strategic contact.
God at Work #3 - One of the walkers shared a testimony how God had provided in several different, unique ways for her family to travel this week to Lakeland, Florida to visit the revival that is happening in that area.

Day 14, 6/15/08
God at Work #1 - We had several opportunities to pray with various individuals we encountered along today's prayer walk. As we walked by a local bar, one of the prayer walkers went up to a lady and started sharing the love of Jesus with her. She invited her to come out to the Sat night 'campfire praise' at 1801 Prospect Road. She was sooo excited and even offered to bring food to share.
God at Work #2 - One of the walkers reached out to a man who had been in a car accident. He explained that he was given money to come back here to see his boys before he would be going to jail next week. He asked us to pray over his injured arm and leg. He said it was a divine appointment he ran into us and was very happy to see us. He said he needed peace over his future.
God at Work #3 - A carload of 'break-dancers' stopped as they recognized one of the prayer walkers. He met our walker at National Day of Prayer. He was trying to find a way to make contact to have her pray for this group of break-dancers who were ready to go on a trip to Switzerland. They felt it was a divine appointment they recognized her walking along the street and could stop to have the group pray and intercede for their talents to be taken to the nation.
God at Work #4 - A skateboarder met us on the road and explained that he had been out to the Sat night 'campfire praise' and met a man there who had been a mentor for him. As a result, he is now reaching out and sharing Christ to those in the prison and those into drugs as he used to be.

Day 12, 6/8/08
God at Work #1 - Two of the walkers stayed behind to pray outside the church where the walk began today. They had several opportunities to encourage the pastors.
God at Work #2 - The walkers came to a trailer park and prayed with a Spanish-speaking family. We explained our vision of unity among God's people and how it relates to William Penn's Holy Spirit. 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.
God at Work #3 - After walking, we returned to the bar we visited on Day 10 to participate in karaoke. Two college students were led to go along and sing the song "I can only Imagine". The patrons were touched and the atmosphere in the bar changed! From then on, people reached out to talk to our group.
God at Work #4 - One of the walkers asked permission to sing 'Amazing Grace' acappella and the lady in charge said 'no' to acappella. Later, when the group decided to sing a karaoke Christian song, one of the men said "I don't sing well, but I want to pray a blessing over this bar instead'. 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.
God at Work #5 - One of the walkers could not participate in the karaoke due to a baptism at her church. They sang AMAZING GRACE acapella at the end of the service!
Another walker who also was unable to participate in Karaoke was at home and felt that God impressed on him that our group should be singing 'AMAZING GRACE'. God is affirming us over and over that he is in this prayer walk.

Day 10, 6/1/08
God at Work #1 - As we began walking today a loud roll of thunder came out of nowhere. The sun was shining bright. We felt the presence of the Lord directing our path.
God at Work #2 - We had an opportunity to stop and pray for several people and were even asked to prayer walk around someone's home.
God at Work #3 - At the end of our walk there was a local bar across from where we stopped We prayed as a group and collectively felt the Spirit prompting us to go inside. We ordered soda's and had opportunities to share with the patrons about the prayer walk. One of the walkers prayed with the waitress, shared her testimony, and give her a pocket testament. The patrons invited us back for karaoke next Sun eve. One of the walkers remembered she has Christian karaoke music and suggested we return next week to sing to them about God's love.
