With more and more people being forced to stay home during the current coronavirus crisis, many may start feeling stuck. But what if this was a time to do some real kingdom work?

Have you considered prayer-walking throughout your neighborhood? If so, there are plenty of resources that can help you!

Consider these resources:

Bless Every Home

Blesseveryhome.com gives you the tools to become a “Light for Christ in your neighborhood through praying for, caring for, sharing the gospel with, and discipling your neighbors.”

Bless Every Home provides all the tools to get to know your neighbors by name so that you can begin to build relationships with them. Use your dashboard to track your individual progress with each neighbor. You will even receive optional daily reminder emails with a prayer prompt and 5 neighbors to pray for that day.

Pray 4 Every Home

Similarly, Pray for Every Home creates a personalized prayer list for your own neighborhood. After a one-page sign-up, a real-time list is immediately created for you with names of nearby neighbors and a map of your area. This includes a neighborhood map with interactive icons for each household, a list of neighbors by name and address, a private, personal prayer journal area, and tracking of real-time progress. They also offer scripture-based prayer guides to pray for the lost, other believers, your family and unity.

Pray 4 Every Home is an effort that began when a group of pastors – overwhelmed by the growing number of people who don’t know Jesus and aware the status quo of church work was not having a great enough impact – simply asked the question:
“What if we prayed for every household by name?”

Waymakers

The premise of Waymakers‘ ministry is that God is stirring Christians to take their prayers beyond the walls of their church buildings. As we put feet to our prayers, we’re beginning to pray with huge kingdom-sized hope for entire cities. Waymakers offers several pocket-sized prayer guides to help you pray for others wherever you find yourself.

Other Resources

“Taking Prayer to the Street” Guidebook, NAMB (pdf)

There are three parts to this guidebook. The first part gives abbreviated group training for prayerwalking. This simplified lesson plan can be taught in about one and a half hours, followed by literally “taking prayer to the streets.” Debriefing after the trial prayerwalk will reinforce what the class has learned and give them hands-on experience quickly.
The next two parts are divided into blocks of sessions. The first three sessions expand on prayerwalking and regional prayer journeys to involve everyone in the congregation. Sessions four through six lay a biblical foundation for faithfulness in prayer.
