Prayer-walking is one of the simplest ministries the church can do. All that is needed is a willingness to see the needs around us and a commitment to pray.

Yet it is also one of the most powerful things we can do to impact our communities for Christ. Prayer walking asks us to go into our neighborhoods with the clear intention to look for people's needs and present them to God in prayer. We have a God who hears prayers and is more than ready to answer if we will only be diligent in interceding for the lost around us.

God tells us that, "Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you," Joshua 1:3. Prayer 

“All over the world, men and women are looking wistfully to heaven. Prayers and tears and inquiries go up from souls longing for light, for grace, for the Holy Spirit. Many are on the verge of the kingdom, waiting only to be gathered in.”—The Acts of the Apostles, p. 109
