Big Stone Gap Prayer Walk
Saturday, September 26, 2020 - 9:45AM at Bullitt Park
Our Nation is in turmoil and we as God’s people have the solution and that is prayer. Prayer changes things and there is power in numbers! So, will you please gather with us on Saturday, September 26, 2020. As Franklin Graham is having a prayer walk through Washington, DC, we also can gather here in Big Stone Gap and other communities. The walk in Big Stone Gap will start at Bullitt Park around 9:45 am. We will be walking on the sidewalk to our destination at Miner’s Park, where we will gather (with social distancing and mask, please).
[Note: if you cannot walk the distance, just meet us at Miner’s Park at 10:00 am.]
All pastors and their congregations are urged to get on fire for this move of God! If we care about our children and grandchildren’s future, please be there. The world needs to see Christians united for this cause.
You are permitted to bring signs displaying scripture or praising God, but not political signs.
2 Chronicles 7:14 - If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,and will forgive their sin and
