Pentecost Prayer Walk

After the first disciples received the Holy Spirit they were empowered to go out and share the good news of the gospel. This Pentecost, encourage people to walk around their local communities, stopping to pray at key locations (schools, other churches, difficult areas, shops, health facilities etc.) and wherever else the Spirit leads. Pray too for future opportunities to spread the word of God. The links below may be helpful:
