time of personal prayer and bible study.

What insights do the places I come across mean

in this culture?

2. Wear comfortable shoes that are already

broken in and culturally appropriate and
comfortable clothing.

Hospitals - Is there are problem specific to this

area that needs to be prayed for?

3. It is best to go out in teams of 2 or 3 and be

sure and prayer together before you begin
your walk.

Schools - What is the situation. Are there drug

problems, or unwanted pregnancies? Is there are
shortage of books, teachers, classrooms, etc.

4. You can pray together out loud as you walk,

but consider silent prayer individually from
time to time.
5. If praying together, reinforce one anothers
prayers before changing the prayer topic.
6. Use Scripture in your prayers. Example verses
are: Psa 46:10; 108:5; Josh 3:5; etc.
7. If the moment calls for it, stop and pray more
intensely. There are no set rules as to how.
You will develop your own style.

Government Buildings - Is there freedom to worship? Is there corruption in the government?

How do they treat Christians?
Businesses - What is the unemployment situation? Is there enough work?

area? Are there cult sites as you walk? Does
there seem to be opposition?
