God loves Washington D.C. and the people of DC! And so do we.
A few months ago, Dan was praying and God put it on his heart to do a prayer circle around the city of D.C. So he shared his heart with Jason Hershey, our base director and they decided the whole YWAM base would participate in the walk! So Dan planned, made maps and we divided up into team to walk around DC, a total of 48.5 miles! There was seven different "legs" of the walk and the whole base met up for dinner just before the last "leg" to pray together (picture above). Below is a picture of the schedule.
Throughout the walk, there was many prayers and revelations of what God wants to do in DC. I believe the biggest one was God's desire for unity among the body. Just as a team, we shared the joy of walking around DC, as not one person could do that alone, God desires all the churches and believers in DC to come together to see his plans happen in the city! When we arrived at Lincoln Memorial, we all climbed to the top and screamed "JESUS" three times to end the prayer walk. We believed that this prayer walk shifted things in DC and we know it did for us personally (more details in the next blog!)
Thanks for Renca Dunn, we have pictures of each of the seven "legs" of the walk.
