Advertise the ministry at your church, e.g. bulletin board, Sunday School groups, newsletter, e-mail etc.
Decide where you would like to prayer walk. Consider prayer walking in your neighborhood, community park, college campus, hospitals, government buildings, etc. Research the area to get a better understanding of specific needs.
Set a length of time and designate different areas for the group to pray. Prayer walking is best done in teams of two-four. Agree on a time to return from the prayer walk.
Pray together as a team prior to walking, and again as a team at the conclusion of the walk.
Pray intentionally for the neighborhood and community. Be open to the Spirit for insights.
Prayer walking can be a one-time, church wide event, or a recurrent ministry. If you decide to do it regularly, set up a specific time each month. Meet often with volunteers to debrief and pray together.
Tips
Dress comfortably. Wear comfortable sneakers or walking shoes. Consider carrying a small Bible or a journal with you.
Do not feel the need to fill the silence. It is okay to walk and pray silently for a time.
Have a rain plan. Will you meet at an alternate place or reschedule in the event of inclement weather?
