Faribault Prays is an ecumenical prayer walk involving a number of churches in Faribault. The purpose is to pray for Faribault to be cleansed, healed and live in the light of Jesus…and much more. Bernadette Tatge is the contact person from Divine Mercy. Email [email protected] or phone 507-331-7253. How to Join Us

1. Form a Team (we encourage a team but don’t need to if that doesn’t work for you.) Form a group of at least 2 adults if walking during daylight hours or 3 or more if walking after dark. Kids under 18 must have at least 1 adult in the group. The goal is to have different walkers every hour for the 24 hour prayer walk.

• Please wear your “Faribault Prays” button. (you will get one of the buttons before the prayer walk)
• Make sure that you have at least one cell phone in your group in case of emergency.
• Wear a head lamp or carry a flashlight during hours of darkness.
• Do not wear headphones or use earbuds.
• If you can’t walk, you can drive your car or ride a bike.
• You can pray at home or the adoration chapel if walking or driving is not an option.

2. Route 7 is the area we will be walking. (map is on the below) Plan to walk/drive/pray at home or chapel for an hour. Cover as much of your area as possible and as God leads you. As you approach your area with sensitivity and wisdom, you'll discover the best way to cover it with prayer. (CAUTION: DO NOT enter people’s homes.)

3. Pray Pray with the power of scripture and the Holy Spirit. You might begin with the truths of 1Timothy 2:1-7 and/or Psalm 23. Any biblical promise will help you pray with hope and blessing. Other Scriptures will be shared. People can pray silently or together. You can quietly sing, play music, pray the rosary or the chaplet. Pray how the Holy Spirit leads you.

4. Wrap Up Saturday, September 25 at 3:00 p.m. at Central Park. We will celebrate at the conclusion of the walk with final prayers, praise and time of worship. Anyone from the community is welcome to join in!

What is Prayer Walking?
Prayer walking is a low-profile affair. Once in a while, prayers can be demonstrative, but usually prayer walking is being on the scene without making a scene. (This isn’t an evangelistic event. Please do not knock on doors.)

Because you will be wearing the “Faribault Prays” button, people may stop and ask you what you are doing. Let them know hundreds of people will be walking the town of Faribault and praying until 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24. If someone would ask you to pray for them, keep it very simple and pray for a blessings of God’s love on their life.
