Prayer Walking ?

On your upcoming Mission Project you will have many opportunities to engage in “Prayer Walking.” In recent years God has been calling out prayer intercessors like you to walk the sidewalks and paths of the world. This activity called prayer walking enables you to see, hear and touch the very objects of your intercession.

As a prayer walker, you’re an on-site intercessor — someone who prays without ceasing as Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians. Prayer just becomes a part of you. You will have an attitude of prayer in everything you do. You are joining with Christians all around the world who has heard God calling them to “pray on-site with insight.”

➜ Ask the Lord to help you develop an attitude of prayer. Be alert to your surroundings each day, using them as opportunities for prayer. Pray for the community and government leaders. Pray for co-laborers. Pray for the local church and its leaders. Pray continually.

➜ Make it a priority to prayer walk everywhere you go. You will become familiar with some of the historical, cultural and spiritual background of the country which can help you pray specifically.

➜ Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your steps and your prayers as you prepare to walk. God will bring you into contact with people, places and happenings for which you can pray. You can walk and pray anywhere — tourist areas, residential areas, campuses, around monuments, in market places, homes and offices.

➜ Be prepared for what prayer walking will do for you. You will begin to see through God’s eyes … and you will become burdened for the people and their community. Open your eyes and your heart to His power. Remember, whether you’re at home or overseas, prayer produces eternal results. Your intercession for people and cities around the world will have eternal results.

➜ Use any opportunity available to pray for the country and the people. Be aware of prayer needs all around you as God calls you to “pray on-site with insight.”
