Vision
Pray to the Lord for [the city], because if it prospers, you too will prosper (Jeremiah 29:7).
This is the biblical writers’ essential call to God’s people for urban prayer – to pray for the peace or shalom of the city (Robert Linthicum, City of God, City of Satan).
To bring together a community of believers who engage in intentional prayer for the shalom of our city, we are hosting the first series of pray and break bread. new york city. In five neighborhoods this year, we will come together to read and meditate on Scripture, pray and walk the streets of our city, and then join together in a community meal to reflect on our experience, celebrate what God is already doing, and look forward to what He will do to restore and bring peace to the city.
Over the course of the year, we will travel to each of the five boroughs of New York City. These events are open to anyone interested in praying for New York City and enjoying the good food we are fortunate to have here.

pbb. ROOSEVELT AVE Queens-
Come and join us as we travel aboard the 7 Line (dubbed the
International Express) as it rumbles above the communities that exist
along Roosevelt Avenue. Over the course of the
day, we will make two stops (Corona Plaza, and Flushing) and get a
glimpse of some of the dynamic communities that call this major Avenue
home. We will be having lunch (dim sim) in Flushing at Jade Asian
Restaurant - please remember to bring money to cover the cost of your
lunch.
For those who are able to join us, we will be meeting at the Corona Park sign on the street at 9:00 am. When you arrive, exit in the direction of Roosevelt Avenue and 103rd street. Once you are on the street level, look for the Corona Park sign. As a heads up, the 7 train will not be running between Times Square/42nd Street and Queensboro Plaza due to track/service work. As a alternative, take the N train from Times Square/42nd Street to Queensboro Plaza and then transfer to the 7 train going to Flushing.
So bring a friend, bring yourself and come and join us for a time of communal scripture reading, prayer, walking and a taste of New York City's diverse cuisine.
