EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET STARTED

It would be great if your whole church was involved in this initiative. Do speak with your church leader to find out if there are already plans for your church to get involved, and if this is ‘news’ to them, it would be great if you could gently encourage them to consider the possibilities. This is an exciting way to pray for your area of Nottingham, as together we aim to see Our City Blessed.

Of course, there is nothing to stop you prayer-walking any street at any time, but in order for us to co-ordinate our efforts, we would ask you to:

1. Download the “Our City Blessed” Guide and take a quick look (see the Resources section of this website).

2. Use the Nottingham Prayer Walk App (see below) to select the streets you would like to cover.

3. Join with at least one other person (ideally) and pray while walking those streets.

4. Use the App to confirm when those streets have been covered.

5. If you sense God speaking to you about the area where you prayer walk, we would love to hear about that. There’s a link in the App named Prayer Stories, which you’ll find under More on the main screen. Clicking here takes you to the Prayer Stories padlet too

6. Prayer Needs can also be added in the App on the main screen - first click on a whole area named on the map (like Sneinton), then add the Prayer Need you’ve noticed. (These will be moderated before they’re added for others to see)

THE APP

The app has been specifically designed and developed for Nottingham City Prayer. We join with many other cities who have used the app to prayer-walk their locations, including Coventry, Sheffield, Portsmouth, Aberdeen, Wakefield, Warwick, Leamington, Derby, Rotherham, Manchester, Bedworth and Leeds.

It’s not available on app stores - it can be accessed by clicking the following link:

Note - if you’d like a really detailed step-by-step guide to install the app on your phone with screenshots of every stage, you might prefer to use this detailed installation guide … otherwise, the overview instructions below might be enough.

1. The app can be downloaded onto your computer, or tablet, but it works best on a smartphone if you have one.

2. Enter your details and make a note of your username and password (you’ll need them to log in).

3. Once you have registered you will be sent a verification link to the email address you provide. This will say “Activate Your Prayer Walk App Account”. Please check your junk/clutter folders if it doesn’t appear quickly in your inbox.

4. Click the verification link, then log in using your username and password, and you should be in.

The following is is an unfamiliar step … though you’ll need it - adding the app with its icon onto your smartphone
