The small steel mill city of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, in which I attend church, needs prayer. Since 2002 I have prayer walked through many cities, towns and villages in eastern United States, but at the present time my heart is in Coatesville. On Friday evening 11 men and women prayed at the eastern and western gates of the cities. The reason for the prayer is that almost 30 arsons have occurred in Coatesville from December 2008 to the present. One death has occurred and several arrests have been made but the still arsons continued. I was one the intercessors at the western gate to the city. When I pray, I expect God to answer. This morning my faith was deeply shaken. Once again arson occurred and one fireman was injured while a whole row of houses was destroyed. At least 12 families are now homeless in this latest tragedy. Coatesville is now a war zone and families sleep in fear at night wearing their clothes. Please pray that the arsonist or arsonists are found and that the peace of Jesus settles over Coatesville..."
