Follow Me: Becoming a Lifestyle Prayerwalker [Paperback]

Randy Sprinkle (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2, 2005

God is calling believers out of church buildings and prayer closets to intercede in their neighborhoods, cities and all over the world. This phenomenon of praying on-site as God, by His Spirit, gives insight is known as prayerwalking. Prayerwalking helps the believer experience prayer as a way of following Jesus as He is at work around us.
This six-week Bible study is a tool that will transform a willing believer into an effective prayerwalker. It prepares the reader for on-site praying, local and global ministry and spiritual warfare and shows how prayerwalking can have a powerful effect on local evangelism, community ministry, spiritual warfare and worldwide mission work. Designed for individual and group study, Follow Me is divided into six 5-day sessions and includes a leader’s guide with plans for weekly prayerwalking experiences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forever Changed: Becoming a Prayerwalker, June 3, 2007

"Follow Me" is a book to follow not just read. It is easy to understand with a simple format. You not only will learn about prayerwalking, but you will be prayerwalking as an individual and as a part of a group. You will learn to spend time with God at the beginning of your day and end your day with God.

On one of the personal prayerwalks you were suppose to ask God where to go and be prepared to speak a word of encouragement or hope to someone if given the opportunity. This day happened when we were leaving for Labor Day weekend to Panama City. In getting ready for this mini vacation and going to meetings I didn't have the time to do this personal prayerwalk. I told God this was not going to work that I had to do this personal prayerwalk before continuing to the next day's prayerwalk. During our trip I was walking on the boardwalk with our youngest. I was silently prayerwalking. While I was prayerwalking we meet a young family that asked if we would take their picture. When I gave them their camera back I asked if there was anything I could pray about for them. The parents began to share with me that they were on their vacation and their youngest was sick. They were trying to contact their doctor to get medicine for him. I was able to share when our youngest was sick on our vacation the year before and how he had gotten well. I was able to encourage them and offer hope through that story along with them knowing I would pray for them. I've since learned to ask if I may pray right then too.

As a result of doing this book prayerwalking has become a lifestyle for me. Since learning to prayerwalk though this book I've had many opportunities to teach both individuals and groups to prayerwalk. I have prayerwalked in many places I could of never imagined.

I had learned through "Follow Me" that prayerwalking prepares the way for what God wants to do. I can testify to this. In time through prayerwalking the doors were open for a ministry to began in a Mobile Home Park where my husband and I now serve.

I highly recommend this book to individuals, groups, and churches. You will never see the world in the same way again after doing this book and becoming a prayerwalker.

I hope that you will take the plunge and purchase this wonderful resource for yourself or for your small group. I have been using this resource for the past 4 years as a foundational discipleship tool. This book is a perfect complement to the Word of God and full of very challenging questions and exercises that will keep you and your group walking forward as you discover or continue to fall in love with the Lord.

I have used the resource as in a Sunday School class setting as well as for preparing leaders to be prayerwalkers in foreign countries. Both applications have been able to use this resource effectively and with great success. For the Sunday School setting the key has been to wade into the materials and not expect to rush through each session. Sometimes our class stays in a session for almost a month. We just take our time and allow the Spirit to lead. For the training of prayerwalkers, I have utilized the book as an individual assignment and then have followed up with small groups and a thorough debriefing. We also include several intentional prayerwalks that enhance the participants sensitivity in praying in other settings and cultures.
