CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Clarksville Area Ministerial Association (CAMA) is sponsoring a prayer walk as an expression of unity among Christians on October 1 at 8 a.m.
Pastors from various church denominations will alternate praying and reading scriptures during the walk from Burt Elementary School on APSU’s campus to the Montgomery Courthouse, then to Edith Pettus Park. Following the walk there will be a Praise Fest featuring various groups ministering in song and dance with free food, games, and health/wellness exhibits.
The vision for the Unity Prayer Walk came to Clarksville by way of Pastor Sean Miles from Ft. Bragg.
“I have had the opportunity to witness the effect and change that this Prayer Walk has had in Fayetteville, North Carolina. This event has been successful in bringing together local churches and elected officials to unite on one accord to pray for our community. The Prayer Walk has grown from 2,100 participants in 2008 to over 5,500 earlier this year,” Pastor Miles said. “God definitely belongs in our city and through prayer, love and supporting one another is the only thing that we can overcome the division that has separated us from true unity.”
“We are all part of the same community and we have to work together to make our city and county place of peace,” local Pastor and County Commissioner Tommy Vallejos said. “This unity prayer walk is symbolic of what we can achieve by coming together as one to support our clergy, elected officials, law enforcement officers and residents.”
The walk is free and everyone is invited to participate. T-shirts are available fort a $5 donation during registration.
