During the 21 days, believers will be challenged to read consecutively through the 21 chapters of the Gospel of John (one chapter each day). Fasting would be centered on giving up one item that the believer feels he/she cannot live without. Secure copies of scripture by ordering from the association office and distribute in bundles of 3 with the church’s promotional piece to participants. After the 21 days of prayer and fasting, each believer will deliver a marked edition of John/Romans Scripture portion to the three unbelievers for whom he/she have been praying for their salvation. Invite them to attend church and look for opportunities to personally share the gospel. This marked edition will guide the unbeliever through the plan of salvation. Each church will include a card or brochure with the Scripture portion that will invite the lost person to the church on Easter Sunday, the focus harvest time. Special editions of the Scripture portion will be prepared for youth and children, as well. Copies of the Marked Scripture portion with John/Romans will be available for distribution in prisons, jails, nursing homes The process will begin in 2010 with once again prayerwalking in the fall 2010 and spring 2011. This will not only include praying down every street and road in Kentucky but also targeted prayerwalking around schools, nursing homes, college campuses and prisons and jails. The cost would be $1.00 for church member participating ([3] Job/Romans Scripture portions for delivery by each participant to the three people they choose to pray for); Scripture portions for distribution in jails, prisons, nursing homes, college campuses could be provided by individuals, churches and/or the KBC (approximately 30¢ per copy). Churches must order the scripture portions from the local Baptist Association by December 21, 2010. Determine number of “marked” Gospel of John/Romans your church will need and place the order to the association office by December 21, 2010. Don’t forget to order enough for mass distribution to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, jails, prisons, Hispanics & Deaf.
