What will happen in our cities when every dark corner, alleyway, street, business, home, or person has been covered in prayer? Scripture says that the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord just as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14) What if that begins with our sidewalks? The Holy Here invitation is a step toward participating with Heaven in re-zoning entire cities as holy dwelling places for the Lord.
