After an impactful collaborative effort, we followed up with some of the key players to ask them why they think prayer is so important to the community, especially as it relates to the success of last week's "Prayer with Purpose for Community Transformation" event. We spoke to Harriet Cross of Englewood United Methodist Church... and here is what she had to say.
" The bible tells us that we should pray to make God aware of our needs, and conversely as we pray we too become more conscious of our needs as well. It is from this state of consciousness, that God makes us aware of the solutions to our problems." This weekend's event allowed us to create witnesses in the community as we prayed with them or even if they watched us pray from a distance, which all goes a long way to send the message that we can and must look to God for the community to truly be transformed.
