We know that individuals, small groups and churches across Cheltenham are already actively praying for the areas of the town where they live or are located.  Yet we have a vision to see these united, bringing Christians from different traditions and backgrounds together - united in prayer.

 

We hope that by bringing churches together over a short period, and providing a tool that helps people see how and where others are praying for the town, it will be encouraging and inspire greater prayer for Cheltenham.
 
To that end, in summer 2024 we facilitated the church to prayer-walk the whole of the town during May and June - and saw 70% of our streets walked and prayed for. 
 
We hosted the prayer walk app that allows individuals to commit to, and then record that they have, prayer-walked a street (or more).  There is also some material (from the 24-7 Prayer team) that people used to help when they hadn’t walked and prayed for a street before. 
 
Our aim was to promote unity in the body of Christ, as we join together to be part of something bigger, praying that we see God's kingdom come in Cheltenham, and His will be done here, as it is in heaven.

 

And now cheltenham.prayerwalk.app is open again for 2025! We're not 'going big' this year - but do feel free to share the link with others in your church, small group or community and invite them to join in as we continue to pray for our town.  The app will be open throughout the summer so do get involved.

 

We're already looking to how we galvanize prayer again in 2026 so please get in touch if you'd like to hear more about this.

 

 

We've published a few 'FAQs' to help your plan your prayer walking.
