While I'm here in Chicagoland, I wanted to take time to point you to a helpful website. Bill Yaccino shared this with me and I thought it was worth your time. Bill is the Executive Director of Catalyst, a network of congregations in Lake County, IL that collaborate towards greater Kingdom impact. (www.Catalystweb.org) The site is a tool for organizing people to pray for their neighborhoods here in Chicago. You can also sign up and join others who are also praying for their block-- and you don't have to live here in Chicago. Take a minute to see how many people are praying for their neighbors all across northern Chicago at Pray4YourBlock.org
The guys behind it all want to encourage you to sign up at the website and... 1. Plant a virtual flag in your neighborhood. Check it out here. Posted on October 29, 2009 at 2:33 PM ~ 4 Comments 4 CommentsLeave a comment |

I think that's a tremendous idea. Christ is Lord of every square inch of the universe, we might as well focus our prayers to reclaim every square inch!
It's definitely something every church needs to do to systematically reach their communities.
I think the great thing this does is remind church members that they are a part of their community - it should start with prayer, and move on to service.
This is simply a test. Please delete.
I want to try to put together a similar website for our association that is starting a prayer-walking initiative. Any advice out there on how to do the whole Google mapping thing?
