Now, i know there are many who are sick of "rallies" and want "action." To be honest, this event may disappoint. For this event, we would focus more on the ACTS prayer (adoration, confession, thanksgiving and supplication) rather than planning to do this or that .
The hope is that people will build prayer (especially for our community) into their lives, and their daily physical walk becomes a walk with God, where we not only talk but also listen for Him in our day to day lives. From that, He will guide us to appropriate action.
The other hope is that you will see neighbors who have a similar spiritual perspective, and you can connect with them for future action (in addition to prayer).
JP Paulus and his family will be there. How about you?
A pre-emptive prayer strike against the violence before it happens in our community!
