What is prayerwalking?

Simply defined as “praying on site” with “insight.”

Prayerwalking is NOT:

An end in itself, but a catalyst for dozens of other Kingdom activities.

After You’ve Been Prayerwalking

Give a report.

Pray together as a group.

Consider this…

God is calling prayerwalkers out of the church to impact the world because never do we accomplish more, quicker, than when we’re praying.

Final Challenge…

Get serious about being prayerwalkers/warriors. Follow the example of the disciples:

They gathered in earnest intercession prior to Pentecost.

They prayed for 10 days, preached for 10 minutes, and 3,000 got saved.

Want to shorten your pastor’s sermons? Then get really serious about praying. (Psalm 126:5-6)
