American Christian group leads Gulf Coast prayer walk
As up to 2.5 million gallons of oil pour daily into the Gulf of Mexico with no end in sight, Christians touring the region this week are offering the one thing they believe will make a difference: prayer, reports Charisma News Online.
The Rev. Mitch Hescox, president of the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN), began the Gulf Spill Prayer Walk Monday in Waveland, Miss., and will journey through the Mississippi Delta before ending Saturday in Venice, La.
“I truly believe that prayer is the answer right now,” Hescox said. “The only person that has the wisdom to stop this flow of oil is our Lord. And we need to open a clear channel through prayer that He will influence either directly through some supernatural way or He’ll give some engineer a brilliant idea … that only God can give.”
