Prayer Walk

After a summer break from Prayer Walking, we have resumed our quest to cover the city in prayer. Here's where we walked this week (shown inside the blue lines on the google map):

Here (there are a lot of students in these areas) and here.

Prayer Walking

Is is our goal as the Prague Mega City Team (PMCT) to prayer walk the entire city of Prague by 2010. To achieve this goal, we prayer walk as a team at least once a week, more when we have a volunteer team here to help us. We have completed approximately 65% of our goal to date. We believe that prayer is the foundation for the work that God has called us to do in Prague. The goal of prayer walking is "praying on site with insight." In other words, prayer walking is "intercession on location, with information, in cooperation, against opposition, for glorification. Intercession is that type of prayer that focuses on the needs and concerns of others. It is praying to God about the people, in the Name of the Son, in and with the Holy Spirit." The biblical basis for our prayers for the people of Prague is found in I Timothy 2:1: "First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men..." For our weekly prayer walks, we choose a section of the city that has not been prayer walked before, map it on Google maps and physically walk the streets of that area, praying for God to draw the people to Himself. Since you cannot all be here every week, we hope that you will join with us in our prayers for Prague through a weekly "virtual prayer walk". Each week I will post the link to Google maps to show you the area we will be walking. This week we are prayer walking the area of Modrany. To see the Google map, click here. It's okay if you can't pronounce the names of the streets (I can't either sometimes!). Just pray that God will move in the hearts of the people in this area. If you look in the top right-hand corner and click on satellite, you can see a Google Earth view of the area.

Humor in Prayer Walking

I'll admit that Matt and I are somewhat easily distracted when it comes to prayer walking. Don't get me wrong, we love it and we usually get right back on track, but I'm pretty sure we're both a little A.D.D., especially when we're praying with our eyes open (a necessity when you're walking). Today, however, even the most disciplined of prayer walkers would have to be distracted at the following sight:



Apparently there's a doggie sanitation problem in the neighborhood that we prayer walked. Isn't it a dog's job to poo in the neighbor's yard? These folks think not.
