On Yom Kippur last Monday, we concluded our Boxing the Compass prayer initiative. It was the Day of Atonement. Four of us interceded in our home to seal what had been prayed at 22 strategic places around the Chesapeake Bay. Here’s where we prayed:

Sept. 18: Nanticoke/Tangier Sound, Cambridge/Sailwinds Park, Oxford, Easton House of Prayer, Kent Island, Chesapeake City/C&D Canal, North East/Sandy Cove
Sept. 19: Baltimore – Federal Hill, Ft. McHenry, Fells Point, the block
Sept. 20: U.S. Capitol (in advance of Muslim prayer gathering)
Sept. 25: Onancock, bay bridge-tunnel overlook, Virginia Beach/CBN chapel, Providence Forge (near Richmond)
Sept. 26: Virginia’s Northern Neck/The Promised Land, Lexington Park, Colton’s Point/St. Clement’s Island, Solomon’s Island/Patuxent River Naval Air Station
Sept. 27: Charlotte Hall/Southern Maryland, U.S. Capitol, Annapolis

We prayed with local people at most of these locations and took Communion everywhere we stopped, committing a portion to the ground for the healing of the land. Shofars were sounded at many of these places.

Eleven of us prayed at the Capitol on Sept. 20. All of us who converged there had been given Psalm 24. We proclaimed it as we faced east toward the bay and the Eastern Shore.

Our final stop was in Annapolis. As we walked to the city docks, we were greeted by the hymn, “Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art.” The praise team from Antioch Christian Church was singing in front of the harbor. A racially diverse crowd of several hundred people sang along, most with hands raised. It was as though God put an exclamation point at the end of our journey.

On Yom Kippur we asked God to pour out a spirit of repentance, that the wells of salvation be uncapped and flow freely, that righteousness reign, that churches come together, and that the entire culture around the bay would be transformed as men become free to put God in His rightful place in their hearts. We asked God to connect the pieces of red rope we left at strategic prayer stops in order to form a net for a harvest of souls.

Thank you all who prayed for us and with us and hosted us as we traveled 1,200 miles over two weekends. We had a glorious time Boxing the Compass.
