Prayer Walk 17!

Most of you know that I was in Haiti for three weeks at the end of June/beginning of July with Kimberly Yonge working on a prayer walk project for the North American Mission Board. We put together several virtual prayer walks that are linked to Google Earth. That way YOU at home can walk where we walked and pray for who we prayed for! Our first walk, #16, was posted a few weeks ago. Well, now #17 is up!

This walk is focused on the Buckets of Hope campaign by the Southern Baptists. Churches all over the country filled 5 gallon buckets with non-perishable food items that will feed a Haitian family of 4 for a week. There has been a lot of trouble getting these Buckets through Haitian customs. There have been about 15,000 distributed in Haiti; 60,000 stuck in customs in Port-au-Prince; and about 50,000 still in the States waiting to be shipped.

Please pray for this ministry. Now that it is the rainy season, many families find their food ruined by water. The gift of this food and the bucket itself would be a huge blessing. We believe that God answers prayer!!

While you are at it, take a look at the other prayer walks on the list. These maps would be a great tool for your personal prayer time or in your small group! When you select a walk, click on the link to view it in a larger map.
