When I mention prayer walking around the community in Haiti people get kind of freaked out. And when some people read on our website that part of our trips involves prayer walking they sometimes shy away. People have this idea in their head of us walking up to doors, forcing our beliefs on some poor unsuspecting Haitian and hurling Bible verses about hell and damnation at them. (not really- that's a bit of an exaggeration- but it does scare some people)
In actuality prayer walking is one of the highlights of the trip for a LOT of the participants. We pray before we leave the base- that God will lead us where He wants and to whomever He wants. Then, we just walk and pray as we feel led. We talk to people, we make new friends, we share stories, etc... It is truly a blessed experience and we always return feeling excited and glad we went.
Below are photos from one of the prayer walks on this last trip (these were all taken in Carrefour). Enjoy!
