Their number might have been relatively small, but their purpose was mighty.
Nine people most members of Holly Springs Baptist Church gathered Saturday in Mount Airy and spent about 20 minutes on a prayer walk down Main Street.
“We got a lot of attention, a lot of people stopped, we saw them pull their phones out and take videos,” said Rev. Terry Watson, pastor of the church. “One guy jumped in and walked with his for a while.”
While the walk, completed with escort by the Mount Airy Police Department, did grab attention of those in downtown Mount Airy, Watson said none of the walkers were seeking attention for themselves. Instead, he said they did it to call attention to their Christian faith, and as a testimony of standing publicly for Christ.
