Time: 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Location: Blanchard Park | East Orange County

The event “Operation Deliverance III,” consists of area churches and ministries volunteering at least one hour to pray in a designated area for forty straight days without interruption.

For this event we have partnered with the Blanchard Park YMCA located on Rouse Rd. The times will be 6:30-7:30 pm (Mon-Fri) and 2:30- 3:30 pm on Saturday and Sunday. All we ask is that you select a day between the dates of February 23- April 3, 2009.

There is no doubt that prayer is a strong tool to reach peace, hope and harmony. Doctors encourage patients and relatives to use prayer as part of the healing process for their patients. Our nation and communities are suffering some very tough times with the economy, families are losing their homes, their jobs and there are lot’s of uncertainty of what the future will hold. We too could use prayer as a tool to bring peace, harmony, hope and the end of violence in our communities.

This is a prayer event, music instruments are welcomed but not loud speakers or megaphones. You are encouraged to bring church bulletins or brochures to hand out. Through you we want to invite others to pray for the community and get involved. This event has been conducted in other parts of Orange County and the City of Orlando and it has been very successful.
