MyUrbanGospel.com believes that the rising problems which contribute to the degradation
of our communities are directly tied to the erosion of strong moral values and spirituality.
Economic, educational and social dysfunction increase when morality decreases. As
a Christian media outlet, we are committed to working with community leaders, law
enforcement, churches and citizens to combat crime. The entire community has to
respond to the violence and crime in the community. We believe that through the
power of prayer, we can help to combat the problems of crimes, including murder,
drugs, prostitution and gang activity. For the last eight years Kingdom Life Ministries
has been uniting with pastors in high crime areas and "Changing the Atmosphere through Prayer." As we pray, we also minister to those we meet along the way.
Prayer Walking
Prayerwalking is defined as "praying on-site with insight." There is no set
pattern or proven formula. Prayerwalkers have set out with every imaginable style.
There's nothing magic at all in the footsteps. God's Spirit is simply helping us
to pray with persistent spontaneity in the midst of the very settings in which we
expect Him to answer our prayers. We instinctively draw near to those for whom we
pray.
Getting up close to the community focuses our prayer. We sharpen our prayers by
concentrating on specific homes and families. But we enlarge our praying as well,
crying out for entire communities to know God's healing presence. When praying for
unreached people groups or cities, it is especially helpful to pray on-site. Not
only are we changed, but we bring the light of Christ into the area and impact the
spiritual darkness just by our presence as the children of light.
Prayerwalks give us a simple way to continually fill the streets with prayer. Many
are praying city-size prayers while ranging throughout their towns with disciplined
regularity in small bands of two or three. In limited access countries, thousands
of "tourists" walk the streets interceding for the lost in their own communities.
Thus prayerwalkers keep near the lost in order to touch them with the gospel and
transforming service. Quiet triumphs often follow as God changes the city day by
day and house by house.
