There are 15 Prayer Stations. You can spend time praying for the specific needs listed, and/or pray as the Lord leads you to pray for that area s specific mission and ministry at Bay Life. Each station will have signs to designate where to stop. You are free to go with a group that has a guide, or go your own way at your own pace. We believe that the prayers of many are powerful, and we hope to be more intentional about making God the center of our lives on a regular basis. Thank you for taking time to pray for this campus and our ministries as we Go Forward. 4 Prayer Walk
