cleaning
We mobilise people to pray for their town / city while they are cleaning the streets.
When we look around, we see a lot of rubbish lying around in the streets. But every refuse bag filled is one bag of rubbish less lying around.
Planning for this is easy.
- Get your group together.
- Decide where you will be working.
- Bring refuse bags, gloves and fluids to drink.
- Arrange the pickup and removal of the bags that have been filled.
Companies: Talk to the business owners in your street. Arrange a once a month cleaning session with your combined staff.
Churches: It is amazing to see what the body of Christ can do when they work together. Church leaders, arrange a meeting amongst yourselves and inspire your congregation to work together with those of other churches (each starting from their own location). The goal is to work & pray (while cleaning – Just like Nehemiah in the Bible when they were rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. They were working and fighting).
Pray / declare Isaiah 60:1-3 over your town:
“Arise, shine [your town name]; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you [your town name], And His glory will be seen upon you.”
If we have inspired you to arrange a cleaning expedition, please share it with us and send us some images. We keep count of the bags filled on our website and list of everyone involved.
