She said Mike Williams intentionally called on those with special connections to each location, which gave a personal touch for the audience. Finley said that her favorite stops were the Jim Bill McInteer Bible and World Missions Center and the George S. Benson Auditorium. “It got me thinking about all the students that go into the Benson every day and all the students that are called out into the world for missions,” Finely said. “It just hit me standing between those two buildings.” The centennial prayer walk continued for the rest of the 2023-24 year, bringing people back to campus to pray over the work, faculty, and students. The connections to the buildings through each prayer brought depth to the spiritual walk.
