We went out in groups of 3 to practice what we had just learned together in the women's meeting. The topic yesterday was prayer walking. I used a very simple method using our hands to help us remember what to pray for. I just taught using the right hand this time which represents 5 requests that we can pray for while prayer walking. Next week, I will teach them the left hand which represents 5 different places you can go to pray in the community or village. The women really enjoyed the hand signals and knew them very well by the time we finished since I went over them a lot. After I finished we went out and prayer walked, each group going in a different direction. One woman fell behind a little in our group and when I looked behind me she was walking with her eyes closed. I told her she had better open her eyes or she was going to fall. It was quite funny. My group was the first to get back to the church so we just walked around the church a couple of times praying for their church. It was a fun afternoon!
The purpose of us going out and prayer walking is to tear down the strongholds in that area so that people could come to know Jesus.
Please pray:
1-That God would open heaven and reveal himself and his power to the people all around so that they will want to receive Him.
2-That people will have open hearts as they hear God's Word.
3-For open homes/huts. In many homes the people living inside go to the witch doctor, practice meaningless rituals, and feel hopeless because of their circumstances.
4-For open highways or paths so that the church will know how to enter into the villages and share God's Word.
5-That the people of the church will have open hands for ministry. That God would reveal to them acts of compassion or kindness that needs to be done where the people live.
