During April, May and June, the “church of the city” is coming together at a level of unprecedented unity to participate in the state-wide prayer movement known as Bless
The process is simple but the impact will be profound! Participants go to www.BlessMN.org, plug in their home address, or a workplace address, for example, register a “pin-point” on the Google map of Minnesota as a point of inception and begin to pray for the people and places represented by their street adoption. As they pray they follow Jesus’ teaching in Luke 10 to:
-
Speak
Peace and Blessing
-
Reach-Out
and Build Relationships
-
Respond
to Needs
-
Share
the Love, Presence and Power of Jesus Christ
We call it
“prayer with legs” because it is action oriented! It invites the people
of God to open their eyes and their hearts to love this world as God loves it
and respond to the needs of their neighbors, co-workers and class-mates with
the tangible love of Jesus Christ. It’s not a program. It’s a
lifestyle!
The local
churches, businesses and organizations involved in BlessMN will start by
encouraging their own members, employees, volunteers and supporters to “adopt a
street in prayer.” Then, through the circles of influence and various
networks that each of us has the vision can be shared with others. We are
asking God to take BlessMN “viral in the Spirit!”
A “BlessMN Launch Lunch” is taking place next Wednesday, April 2, from 11:45 – 1:15 at Rockwood’s
If you have not yet “adopted a street in prayer,” please visit www.BlessMN.org today and join this exciting move of God. I believe that it is going to transform the State of
