How one woman's vision led to a special prayer box

Angela Tomiye set up a prayer box on top of a hill in Hawaii.

Angela Tomiye has been praying for strangers' after they leave their messages for God inside the prayer box she placed on top of Koko Head, a Hawaiian hill. The prayer notes people leave will be read and prayed for by an assembly of friends she organizes each week. According to Tomiye, her whole plan started when she was asked to put the box on top of a mountain through a vision.
 

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - "I saw it in a vision. I saw a prayer box on a mountain top. Honestly, I don't know why I put it at the top of Koko Head, because this is always a tough one for me," she said in an interview with the KITV-TV.

The different pleas are written on anything and everything- there are invocations written on Band-Aids and some on bottle wrappers. She collects them every week to pray for with her friends. The prayer box is not something she came up with alone, Tomiye said that she heard God's order for her to do this.

"I heard him say very clear to me, 'Angela, everybody needs prayer, but not everyone's willing to walk into a church to receive it,'" said Tomiye.

Although she, herself, is puzzled and confused by her own vision, she obeyed His orders and placed the prayer box on top of a large hill. She has not told anyone of her instructions; Tomiye admitted that "even in my own mind it's kind of crazy."

Tomiye describes her weekly journey uphill to retrieve the letters as similar to Christmas, which fills her heart. Initially, she did not expect anything to happen, but strangers began placing their prayers.

Now, she plans to up other boxes around Hawaii and in the West Coast. Angela Tomiye will be working with churches to launch the projects.
