Christians in Barbados Prepare for World Cup through Prayer Walks and Cleaning Neighborhoods

"As we clean, we will also pray."

On April 28, the final of the World Cup will be played in Barbados. Looking ahead to that event, 50 Christians with the Christian Action Team, led by Eroll Griffith, organized a prayer and worship walk —called "March forth on your knees" —to ask God's blessing on the region's biggest ever sporting occasion. A series of similar events will continue up to, and after, the World Cup.

"This is all about prayer," Griffith, told the Daily Nation. "It was the idea of a group of Christians who are praying that God manifests Himself so that all the people here for the World Cup realize that He exists, and know He is God."

"It's open to anyone with a heart for prayer, and for this World Cup. We want to thank God for the blessing the sport of cricket has given us all in the Caribbean," Griffith added.

According to a report in Inspire Magazine, "the group has also organized, in association with the Sanitation Service Authority, a special clean-up this weekend, where people are invited to clean up their local neighborhood."

"As we clean," Griffith noted, "we will also pray."
