Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I walk?
Most walk at least once per week for approximately 30 minutes or so. However, those who are retirees or who have more flexibility in their schedule are encouraged to walk more often. Please remember that your spiritual connection with God through your prayer is more important than how often you walk. Otherwise, this is merely an exercise program.
Is Revival Walk a year round event?
Revival Walk is not an event but rather a new way of life and spiritual discipline for every able believer. It should be done year round as weather conditions permit. Your consistency and dedication will speak volumes to those around you regarding your faith and commitment to the kingdom of God.
What if I am unable to walk? Can I still participate?
Yes, you can participate by driving, riding in a car with someone else, or by simply sitting on your porch and praying. The important part is the prayer and intercession for your neighbors and community.
Is it important that I walk with someone else?
No, it is not critical that people walk in pairs. In fact, depending on the area and time of day that you are walking, walking alone may seem more productive for you in prayer. However, for safety reasons, walking in pairs and praying together can be very beneficial as well.
What if I live outside of town and not in a neighborhood?
You can pray as you drive in the area where you live, or you can prayer walk the neighborhood of a friend or loved one. Prayer walking your own church or local schools is a great idea as well. We recommend you pray about where He would have you to pray and let the Holy Spirit lead you to where you are most needed.
Can I organize my own local prayer walks as a group?
Yes, yes, yes! As organizers of Revival Walk, we are praying for thousands of prayer events to develop and churches and communities to unite and lift their voices together in prayer. In the near future, we will be adding a Prayer Event Calendar to this site as well as our Facebook page.
Do I need to wear any special clothing?
No, actually the more inconspicuous you can dress, the better. However. if you are walking in the early morning or late evening hours, brighter clothing is recommended for improved visibility.
Should I walk in the street or on a sidewalk?
If a sidewalk is available, by all means that is the safer way to go. However, if no sidewalk is available and you walk on the side of the street, it is advised that you walk on the left side of the street walking toward the oncoming traffic.
Do I really need to get one of the Revival Walk yard signs?
Although having a yard sign is not critical to your prayer walk ministry, it does let your neighbors know you are serious about your relationship with God and that you love them enough to lift them in prayer. It can also be a great conversation starter if you encounter a neighbor as you walk and pray.
