Presiding Bp. & Bp. of Albany (NY) take part in sidewalk prayer ministry

Teams in the Diocese of Albany set up "Prayer Tables" on a couple of busy streets each week. They email a report around to a list of prayer partners, on which I'm honored to be.

I noticed that today's update said,

"Saturday, March 12, 2011, 9:20 - 10:30 a.m. Torre Bissell, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts-Schori, Bishop Bill, Neva Rae Fox, and Sue Plaske on State St."

It seemed to me that there were a higher than usual number of folks stopping at the table today, and the depth of contact included

+Prayed for God's help with his recovery and that he would stay clean. He confessed his sins to Jesus, asked for and accept forgiveness;

+"forgiveness" She confessed her sins to Jesus and asked for and acted Jesus forgiveness and asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior;

+"My wife is locked up and I want her free."

+Prayed with him that he would offer a wounded place in his heart to Jesus.
