Thanks to the couple of responses I received from those who offered prayerwalking input. David offered a personal testimony, and Marti offered a couple of resources:
“Prayerwalking: Praying On-site with Insight” (Hawthorne and Kendrick)
“Follow Me: Becoming a Lifestyle Prayerwalker” by Randy Sprinkle
The resource CD that comes with the integrated short-term mission program, The Next Mile includes a nine-page handout on prayerwalking to use in equipping short-term teams. It’s part of The Next Mile Leader Kit.
Those are the only 4 that came out. Is that it? Yikes. In the 90’s, Luis Bush called for prayer walks to all 1739 of the then-JoshuaProject list of Unreached peoples in the AD2000 & Beyond Movement. Of the hundreds of prayer walks, are those the only 4 resources that remain?
I remember a pamphlet-length booklet I have in my library. So that makes 1 website, 2 books and a booklet, and 1 CD. Gulp. I have to co-lead (with our VP of Prayer, Ops, and Personnel) a prayer journey to Asia in June. I was kind of hoping our bibliography could be bigger than that. Any other options besides the Bible????
Doug, FWIW Prayerwalking is a central part of the CPM strategy I described in the May/Jun 2011 issue of Mission Frontiers. See “Church Planting Movements from One Indian Perspective ”
P.S. That article links to two PDF versions of the article formatted as a booklet, for printing on your office printer or at your local print shop.
I’ve been pulling together some information for a group that will also be doing some pw work. I have this page saved on my browser, might be a starting place. hannahscupboard.com/prayer-mapping2.html Also IMB has some resources, but at the moment, I don’t have my hands on any of them.
Prayerwalking for Kids a fast paced, 6 minute, video for young kids, narrated by kids, is available from
Reignbridge.com just click on resources. This has been shown to major conferences of even college students, as it’s so simple anyone get’s prayerwalking in 6 minutes.
Just rec’d the book, PrayerWalk: Becoming a Woman of Prayer, Strength, & Discipline, by Janet Holm McHenry. Haven’t read it yet, but it looks like it has some good tips, especially for beginning prayerwalkers. I pretty sure the small group from church that has just begun their first experience with prayerwalking will like it and benefit from it.
I continue to appreciate Prayer Journeys: A Leader’s How-To Manual, compiled by John Hanna.
Waymakers also has excellent pocket-sized booklets for prayerwalkers. See here: http://www.waymakers.org/ways-to-pray.html
And here is a link to an excellent book on leading prayer journeys: http://www.cartpioneers.org/products/Prayer-Journeys%3A–A-Leader%27s-How%252dTo-Manual-%252d-Download.html
Also, the organization I work with takes frequent prayerwalking / prayer journey teams to unreached people-groups. Join us! :-)
Here’s another book –
Prayer Walking, 2002, by Dan Crawford & Calvin Miller published by AMG Publishers
Primary Purpose:Making it hard for People to go to hell from your city, by Ted Haggard, covers prayer walking.
For international praying, I have on my shelf: Praying through the 100 Gateway Cities of the 10/40 window, ed. by C. Peter Wagner, et al.
Also, Franz Lippi of B.L.A.S.T ministries in the Balkans teaches and leads local and worldwide prayer walks.
