Step-by-Step Church Guide for PRAYING ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA

  1. Enlist a prayer coordinator for your church. Seek out someone who already prays consistently to be your church coordinator and organize this effort.
  2. Create Prayerwalk routes. These will be used later for distribution in Gospel saturation.
  3. Enlist prayerwalkers within your church. Have a sign-up sheet for people to commit to prayerwalk during October and November. Encourage members of all ages and stages of life to participate! Ask for the following information:
    • Name and contact information
    • Do they plan to walk alone or would they like to be part of a group?
    • Do they have an area where they would commit to prayerwalk? Make suggestions such as neighborhoods, schools, community centers, public places.

    Remind people they can walk, run or even drive!

  4. Organize people who would like to prayerwalk in groups. If you organize prayerwalking groups then keep the groups small in size, between 2 to 4 people, and divide them into different areas of town.
  5. Offer resources that will prepare people to prayerwalk.
  6. Plan an organizational meeting to answer any questions from participants. Distribute any resources that might help your participants. Encourage each participant to keep track of the number of miles completed for celebration purposes.
  7. During October and November (2009), PRAYERWALK. Keep track of all your miles (using a pedometer). Even if a group completes 10 miles, count the miles for each individual. (For instance; if your group of two walks two miles, then you will report a total of four miles). Use this information to celebrate your team accomplishments in walking and praying.
