• To teach a different way to pray
• To connect perseverance in prayer with perseverance in physical activity
• For kids to be Christ’s presence in their community
• To encourage prayer for others

For children, being physically present in a place they are praying for can inspire their prayers, and help connect them in a real way. Topics on your prayer walk will be directly connected to places and people you see/encounter on your walk. 

Here is a basic outline for a prayer walk:

1. Introduce & explain the activity, then start with prayer.
2. Walk/run/scooter the selected route, stopping to pray at both pre-selected locations and for spontaneous prayers along the way. So, if there is a school on your route, pray for the teachers and students. A park or trees could inspire prayer for the environment, etc.
3. Finish with prayer, thanking God for your experiences & safety as you walked.
