A new book "Come to the Waters" tells how prayer, unity and perseverance helped to change the spiritual climate of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Prayer and Praise Cruises of 1994 and 1995 seem to be key turning points in this change. Over 300 people, over 20 pastors, 37 different ethnic groups and over 50 different denominations went out on the waters of San Francisco Bay, to pray and break the curses that had been brought into the Bay Area on ships.
As the pastors, intercessors and the Body of Christ began to humble themselves in prayer together, see how God kept His promise made in II Chronicles 7:14 and began to heal the land. The crime rate in San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose have all decreased between 25% – 30%!!!
