This week in the “Faces of Faith” documentary
October 16th, 2009
Downtown Athens on a Thursday night (because we all know that Thursday is the new Friday): up and down Clayton street you’ll see the masses of students dressed up for socials, headed to shows, stumbling into cabs, and munching on edamame and noodles; but a lesser-known downtown event is also going on between Sandbar and Walker’s. It’s the Thursday night, downtown … prayer. Its called the “Tribe of Issachar” and just like your favorite neighborhood Waffle House, it’s open 24/7. You can sign up for one hour time slots to come and pray in the room. Sometimes a week might be focused on a particular issue. This past week many of the prayers centered around the problem of human trafficking. While they say that the full hour need not be spent on this particular issue, these Christians say they wanted to “Cry out to the only Just Judge for the abolition of this appalling reality that has gone largely unchecked in our cities and in the nations of the world.” (Check out their blog here and the Tribe of Issachar website here) As part of their reasons for the prayer room the cite a verse from the Bible which says, “will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out day and night?…i tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly.” After meeting some of the folks that help run this unique organization here in Athens I have an appointment to do some shooting there next week.
