WALKING PATH & PRAYER STATIONS
Walking And Talking With GOD
George Mueller, a pastor, author, and missionary from the 19th century,
often took walks in the fields and forests of England to listen to our
Lord. He said he found it easy to "walk and talk with God".
He was a man of great faith in prayer - often trusting God for funds
to operate several orphanages, churches, and schools - at the same time.
He would never make his needs known, but always trusting God to meet
all his needs.
We believe there are others who also enjoy walking and talking with God.
Oaks Manor offers a variety of prayer stations along a beautiful
one mile
path that skirts the outer perimeter of the grounds. Shorter paths crisscross
the long path to allow a traveler to choose the distance they desire.
The paths are easy to walk or jog.
Stop at one of the eight (8) prayer stations and spend time with God.
They are conveniently located on one of several paths. Prayer stations
range from a gazebo to simple benches or swings.
