July 2009 El Paso Surges with Prayer, Bible Reading
LC2C city leader Barney Field, El Paso for Jesus, had a vision for round-the-clock prayer for the city, and in June The El Paso 24/7 Prayer Vision launched with 168 intercessors from 28 churches participating. Intercessors pray in one-hour time slots from their homes or wherever they are, covering the city in non-stop prayer. Also in El Paso, in May the local LC2C initiative coordinated a "Read through the New Testament" campaign at the Mayor's Prayer Luncheon. More than 1,000 of the 1,500 present signed up on the spot to commit to read through the New Testament using a bookmark developed by Barney. The Mayor of El Paso endorsed the bookmark and encouraged those in attendance to join him.
