Street by Street prayer project continues in Bangor West

At a recent meeting of members of 3 churches in the Bangor West area there was a celebration of the past year of the ‘Street by Street’ prayer project. The 3 churches taking part are West Church, Carnalea Methodist and St Gall’s.

During the year a team of 4 people from all 3 churches have been going out knocking on doors in designated streets on alternate Tuesday evenings and asking for prayer requests from the residents. The team then promise to pray for those needs for a fortnight, before moving on to another few streets.

Since the project started on 24th January 2017 homes in 42 streets have been visited, resulting in 346 prayer requests being made. An analysis of these requests shows that 74% were mainly for health issues in the families; 10% were neighbourhood and Northern Ireland issues (mostly about the ongoing political situation); 6% were about faith and salvation issues; whilst others were about world events, natural disasters, terrorist incidents and world peace.

Prayer Coordinator at Carnalea Methodist Church, Neilson Wylie commented:
“Those of us involved in Street by Street have been richly blessed by God through our participation, especially in the unity with the three churches in Bangor West working together. There has been a phrase coined which exemplifies what we are in part trying to achieve through this outreach in our community and that is ‘making the invisible God visible’”.

At the celebration evening Rev Fiona McCrea from Carnalea Methodist, the coordinator of the project, thanked everyone who had participated and said:
“We may never hear about the answers to our prayers in the streets we have visited but we go out each time confident that we can trust God to answer each and every one of our prayers.”
She has calculated that the whole of the Bangor West area will be visited within 2 years – so by January 2019.
