Prayer Walk is a planned time devoted to discovering someone who wants to share a Bible passage with others; a storyteller. Some refer to this individual as a person of peace.
Prayer Walk is best done among those who feel overlooked by the church. They are referred to as PIPSY (the Poor, Internationals, those in Prison, the Sick, and Youth or Your neighborhood).
Prayer Walk can be done alone, in pairs, or groups. It's a great way for a gathering of Christians (Bible study, church, ministry, etc.) to fulfill the Great Commission. It can be done as a stand alone event or woven into an existing outreach event or mission trip. It's best done when a group divides into teams of two; preferably a man and woman.
Prayer Walk is especially effective when combined with gracious actions that meet the needs of those you engage. This is referred to as access ministry. It's not essential, but it helps create spiritual openness.
Pray Walk can begin using the following conversation, "Hi, my name is ____________ and this is __________. We're followers of Jesus Christ and are praying for people. May we pray for you?" If they say yes, ask, "If you were to ask God to perform a miracle in your life, what would you ask?" Then pray for it.
