Prayer Walk Initiative

 

 

As part of VFCC's 7:14 Prayer Initiative, we invite you to 'circle the campus in prayer' by participating in our campus Prayer Walk. Starting on Monday, October 22 through November 2, 2012, you can walk a 1.6 mile path through and around the VFCC campus, stopping at each of the ten stations to reflect on the Scripture verse posted and to pray for the College. Detailed prayer directions, Scripture verses and a map of the prayer path can be accessed through your mobile device by downloading the Prayer Guide.
