A Call for Unity Prayer Walk - (Participation Form)

Dear Pastors, Leaders, and Believers:

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! As we enter spring this year once again our hearts have focused on the youth in the city of Grand Rapids. Last year was anticipated to be one of the most violent summers ever. Fortunately, it was not! We believe that prayer makes a difference. We are so grateful for everyone that participated representing over 40 churches in 19 different prayer and unity walk locations. We know that we cannot afford to stop the prayer momentum for the youth. We are seeing gang members come to Christ in this season and we believe this is only the beginning.

We are asking for your help once again. We believe your involvement in prayer for the city helps to bring a change. Will you please join us again this year to proclaim God's protection and favor over our young people and our city?

One of our greatest weapons against a summer of violence is prayer. We know that the Bible says, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 5:16). And we know there is power in numbers (Lev. 26:8).

As Christians we have a mandate to pray for this city and we know the power of prayer and unity. It may seem like a large task to get all the churches in agreement on what could be done, but we are hoping that churches will be willing to join a city wide effort and participate in a prayer walk on Saturday, June 28th, 2008 at 1:00pm. Each church would pray and walk in their own neighborhoods on the same day at the same time and have faith that God would do the impossible and bring healing in our land (II Chronicles 7:14).

Each church or leader can decide where they will walk and lead their own people in prayer for the city. If we can get on one accord there is no limit as to what God can do. If you have 10 people or 100 it really doesn't matter. Please fill out the attached form so that we may add your name to the list for the necessary permit. KLM will cover the cost for all ministries listed. We as the body of Christ can get the message out to the community that the people of God are determined to break the cycle of violence. It is important that no particular ministry gets the focus. We know that only God and the power of the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus can accomplish such a work in our city. However, He needs instruments....and that's all of us.
