Fayetteville, NC Joins National Movement and Proclamation of Unity with “GOD BELONGS IN MY CITY” Prayer Walk April 14

Fayetteville, NC -- In 2009, a New York City youth group passionate for God saw an Atheist Advertisement campaign in the subway system which stated, “A Million New Yorkers Are Good Without God. Are You?” They were so stirred up by this they went to their Youth Pastor who then went to his network of Youth Pastors and leaders to ask, “What are we, as the body of Christ going to do about this?” They prayed and decided to take action and have Youth Ministries from all around the 5 boroughs hold a prayer walk wearing a simple T-shirt which stated “God Belongs in My City”. This powerful act of unity is sweeping the nation and is now set to impact North Carolina.

On Saturday April 14, youth and adults of the Fayetteville, NC community will join this movement in a silent prayer walk throughout the city with one cohesive proclamation – God Belongs In My City! The strategic route will include stops at key benchmarks throughout Fayetteville: The Airborne Museum, Veterans Park, City Hall and the Police Station, The Market House, Fayetteville Public Library and will end at Festival Park with a gospel music concert and free food for the entire community.

“Who can look at the great things happening in our city – a growing economy, an improved transit system, new homes for hundreds in the Hope VI area, and not recognize that God is at work in our city,” states Fayetteville Mayor Anthony Chavonne. “I can’t think of a more exciting effort than for our diverse faith community coming together in April to celebrate God’s many blessings to our city.
