    From Jacksonville, Florida to Chico, California and across the Atlantic to the UK, citizens are talking the law into their own hands--well sort of...They are prayer walking through the meanest streets of their cities for the main goal of reducing crime.

     

    At the World Prayer Center in Colorado Springs, a large group of Evangelicals meet in a Tuesday night gathering they call Revival Town. Led by The Desperation Band this band of people are a mix of prayer warriors from small, medium, and mega churches throughout Colorado--who want to see changes in their cities and towns. One of those ways is to be strategically praying for their communities by walking the streets.

     

    In Jacksonville, Florida, churches are aligning themselves to a new movement that they hope and pray will reduce a rising wave of violent crime. At http://www.jacksonvilleprayerwalking.com a blueprint of the specific plan to mobilize over 100 prayer teams in every "sub-sector of the city."

     

    There are six zones, according to the website with their primary mission to "Prayer walk the city to confront the current crime and murder rate of Jacksonville." They are organizing training for participants and leaders and are involving all churches in this movement. While the Jacksonville plan is just getting started there are models in other cities that have shown a reduction in crime.
