Prayer walk

Just a brief update about our prayer walk.
We prayed and walked along Heaton Road, to Byker, then back along Heaton Park Road to Heaton Park, and back to HBC
It was interesting to see so much as we went along that you never see or hear any other way
A map of all the Sure Start projects in the East End of Newcastle, 2 GP practices we are connected to through Heaton Helps, a multitude of places to eat and old sweet shops, the Community Centre near the 2 big blocks of flats. Multicultural expressions of life.
The Elim Church a few hundred yards from HBC that received an award at Incarnate, and we didn't even know what they were doing!

Best of all as we prayed and walked...... we met people
Peter, an alcoholic at Byker square. We told him God loved him and prayed for him. He was grateful
A boy who asked for "bus" money, and was given it (then we saw him get on a bus......!!)
A couple of women trying to access church, who had found Elsie wandering and confused and brought her home. We were able to contact Jeremy and Jean and check she was ok

God is good!

Keep praying
