One brick at a time by one prayer at a time.

In the early 90's a small group of teenagers wanted God to move on their school campus so much that they immediately left there home and went to the school and began praying around the flagpole for God to move. That simple and single movement started the world's largest prayer gathering I've ever heard of. This past Wednesday millions of students from elementary to college age students met other Christians around their flag pole to come together and pray for their campus. This took place all around the world. I went to Pine Ridge High School to be apart of theirs and what an amazing site to see. You see Pine Ridge High struggles with racial gangs but on Wednesday I stood back and watched white students hold hands and pray with Hispanic students and Hispanics students holding hands and praying with African American students and so on. It took place in the middle of everything so thousands of students witnessed the melting pot of believers coming together in peace, love, and unity to bring glory to God. I joined a small circle of about 8 students praying. The circle included one white girl, one African American boy, myself, and then the rest were Hispanic boys and girls. Now I didn't know any of them at all. We just bowed our heads, prayed, and when we were done everyone just started hugging everyone else. You couldn't see it but you could feel it, the racial walls were coming down, one brick at a time and we all loved it. I don't know the kids names and they probably don't know mine but what we all do know is that God is tearing down the walls of racism one prayer at a time.
