Then pick the kind of walk that fits you

With fellow Eleven22ers in your neighborhood
Connect through your Disciple Group, your neighborhood Facebook page, the Nextdoor app, or flyers in mailboxes. Agree on a weekly day, time, and starting spot, then meet there each week and pray as you walk your streets together.
With your family
Grab your spouse and kids, and pray together for the other families and people in your neighborhood.
Alone
Walk your neighborhood and pray to God on your own. You can go whenever it works for your schedule, but we recommend a set day and time each week to help you stick with it.

03 / What do I pray?Seven topics

What do I pray?

Pray as the Spirit leads as you pass each house. If you know the people who live there, pray for them personally and by name. If you don't, remember that God knows them, and He will fill in the gaps of your prayers.

Walking with a group? Print these topics as cards, four to a page, and cut them out to share.
