October 8-21
Reported by Calvin
 
On October 11, we traveled to Florida to complete the final leg of the East Coast Prayer Walk. Calvin walked in Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, Orlando and the Gulf Coast from in the Clearwater/ St. Petersburg area. We saw much damage on the East Coast from Hurricane Matthew and marveled at the beauty and serenity of the Gulf Coast shoreline. We presented the Florida Shepherd’s staff to Pastor Mark Daniel and his leadership team at Focal Point Church in Orlando. What a blessing to hear the word of God and worship with these faithful believers at their Sunday night service.
 
The conclusion of the East Coast City Prayer Walk arrived on October 20, 2016 at 12:44 pm at Pass-a-Grille Beach in St. Petersburg, Florida! This was the exact time of day he put his feet in the Pacific Ocean in 2014! Wow- God’s timing is perfect! As Calvin stood in the warm Gulf waters, he praised God for His faithfulness and grace over the past 7 months as we planned the trip and he prayed, walked and prophesied from Maine to Florida. A big thank you to all of you who supported the team and myself by your faithful giving and prayers!
 
He made many connections along the way and thanks God for the people who spoke into his life and for those he had the privilege of encouraging and praying for. God gave him the grace to pray many hours in the cold up north to the heat down south. God is willing and able to save this nation from destruction. He gave Calvin His tears and heart as he interceded; God is interceding for you, your family, your church and this nation night and day! God desires to unite people, places, cities, states, regions, ministries, businesses, and especially each member of the Body of Christ. To know and live in God’s time table at this time is so vital. God is speaking—He will return soon and suddenly the second time. We need to always love, forgive, watch and pray. The world and its lusts are very real—guard your heart at all times. The comforter lives within you; let your heart be encouraged. Eternity is forever- make choices that will last forever. We are a body connected to each other by Jesus the Head, so please remember that what we say or do affects God’s body for good and edification or for evil and harm.
 
Read the gospels –follow Jesus and be His disciples. To obey the Lord is so much better than any sacrifice. God is a father with many children and since you are one of His special children, receive His unconditional love.
 
The greatest joy for Calvin these past seven months has been the beautiful opportunity for him to agree with the Lord in prayer many hours, days, weeks and months and to experience the wonder of His creation, especially as he prayer walked the East Coast of this nation. The oceans, waves, birds, fish, sky, clouds, sunrise, sunset –it all continues to show our Lord’s beauty in His creation (Ps. 19:1).
