Chicago Pastor Organizes Prayer Walks After Rise in Violent Deaths

July 22, 2020 by Staff

(Fox News) Chicago desperately needs the hope of Jesus Christ amid record numbers of violence and death, according to one pastor.

On Tuesday, the nation’s third-largest city saw its bloodiest mass shooting in modern history. Gunfire left 15 people wounded with no immediate arrests. Witness Arnita Gerder told Chicago’s WMAQ-TV, she saw “bodies laying everywhere … We thought it was a war out here.”

Several weeks ago, in response to the violence that has seen children, including a 1-year-old, being gunned down, Pastor Edgar Rodriguez of New City Fellowship started organizing evening prayer walks around affected neighborhoods in Chicago.
