Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
In October 2007, FGA KL organised a prayer run called Run For The Nation, that covered 160 km of Kuala Lumpur and surrounding areas including PJ and Subang. A total of 105 runners took part in this relay event with each team running 5 km. As we ran past houses, buildings, schools, religious sites, shops, government institutions and people on the streets, we prayed. We prayed for God's hands to be upon our city and our nation. We prayed for revival and transformation. Then when the last teams came in we gathered in a hall and prayed corporately.
A prayer run allows us to cover much more ground than a prayer walk. We literally claimed the entire city for God that day! Just like the story of the passover when Moses instructed the Israelites to paint the doors of their homes using the blood of lambs so that they could be protected from God's judgement, when we passed all these places, we asked for God's protection upon our city and our nation.
These individuals were not seasoned long distanced runners. Some did not even run casually before this. They took on the challenge of the event and trained for it. Many will tell you that as they ran and prayed, they experienced a tremendous breakthrough as they prayed through the tiredness in their bodies. Romans 12:1 which says, "offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Him" took on a whole new meaning!
This October, we want to revisit the event by taking it to all the 13 states in the country. We are looking for Christians from different churches to help us organise the event in their capital town. So for Perak, we are looking to organise the run in Ipoh and for Johor, it will be held in Johor Bahru, etc. These runs will take place simultaneously on the 10th of October 2009. Run For The Nation 2009 is endorsed and supported by NECF Malaysia.
We hope that you are bold and excited enough to take on this challenge.
We look forward to hearing from you. God bless you richly!
In Him
