P.I.P
Purpose in Prayer Walk 2015
The purpose of the Prayer Walk in 2015 is for God to offer the very heart of himself. Why does
God love us? Why do we pray? Why do we need each other? Why are we given a chance to serve
in the Kingdom of God?
This will help everyone understand that God has a plan and a purpose for their live. God
did not create us to be separate but to be one, united. We come in many different shapes, sizes,
and colors. But we also come with an open heart to pray. It really does not matter how you
pray, just as long as you pray. Having an open relationship with God is what matter the most.
God is blown away when He see his creation operating in the spirit of love. God has given us
many prayers in the bible to use. These prayers are written to help us on life’s journey and in
our spiritual growth to help build relationships with each other and God.
Prayer is a device that enables the body of Christ to operate in faith and communicate with
God. Prayer changes things.
“Whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive
(Matthew 21:22)
“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in
the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it
(John 14:13, 14)
Praying for a change in your life, family, job, church, community, state and the nation (world)
can be done by simply asking for God help. Talking to God is all there is to prayer.
P.I.P. (Purpose in Prayer) Walk will bring forth a new brand within the community of
Warner Robins, GA., making it possible for God to change the environment of destruction
among our youth, change the heart of the lost, bring restoration to families, and open doors to a
new beginning of life. This year God will free his people of everything that may have them
bound and give true salvation to all that has a desire to know him. Purpose in Prayer (P.I.P.)
will use creativity, wisdom, knowledge of the message to show that God can change lives,
strengthen families, and build a faith-based community that provides unity.
