Streets of Prayer: A Global Mission to Cover the World in Prayer

At its core, Streets of Prayer is more than just an application—it’s a global movement aimed at fulfilling a divine mission. Its vision is bold and ambitious: to see every person prayed for, every street covered in intercession, and the world transformed by the power of persistent prayer. By 2030, the goal is clear: to establish a worldwide web of prayer that ensures no one is left behind. This isn’t merely a call to action; it’s a declaration of faith rooted in Scripture, particularly Revelation 22, where believers are reminded of Christ’s imminent return as the ultimate hope for peace, justice, and salvation.

The driving force behind this initiative is the belief that Jesus’ return will bring an end to all sin and suffering. However, He waits patiently because He desires that none should perish but that all may come to know Him (2 Peter 3:8-9). As such, Streets of Prayer leverages modern technology to unite believers across the globe in collaborative efforts. Through this platform, individuals and communities are encouraged to contribute to a shared mission: praying for the salvation of every soul and walking streets in prayer. The vision is not just about numbers but about embodying love, mercy, and compassion—qualities exemplified through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for humanity.

The process to achieve this monumental goal is straightforward yet profound. Step 1 involves adding seven unsaved individuals to your prayer list, committing yourself to pray for their salvation until they come to know Christ personally. Step 2 encourages claiming an area on the map and dedicating time weekly to pray while walking those streets—a practice known as “prayer walking.” Step 3 invites believers to invite twelve Christian friends to join the movement, fostering community and accountability. Finally, Step 4 emphasizes establishing an online prayer family with these friends, creating a digital space where prayers are exchanged, hearts are strengthened, and missions are coordinated. These four steps form the backbone of a strategy designed to create a ripple effect of spiritual impact globally.

Central to this mission is the unwavering belief in God’s character. Streets of Prayer acknowledges His boundless love, mercy, and compassion, which led Him to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for humanity. For those who place their faith in Jesus, forgiveness of sins, adoption into God’s family, and eternal life are promised (John 3:16). Conversely, Scripture also speaks of God’s perfect justice, which demands punishment for unbelief. Those who reject Christ face eternal separation from God, experiencing His righteous wrath alongside Satan and his followers. While this reality underscores the urgency of spreading the gospel, it also highlights the importance of prayer—not out of fear, but out of love for lost souls yearning for redemption.

Prayer, Streets of Prayer contends, is the most powerful tool available to believers. It is through persistent intercession that hearts are softened, lives are changed, and entire communities are transformed. This conviction stems from the understanding that apart from God’s Spirit, humans can accomplish nothing (John 15:5). Thus, the movement begins each day with a humble plea for the filling of the Holy Spirit, recognizing that He empowers believers to live faithfully, walk closely with God, and persistently advocate for others in prayer. Since its founding on November 20, 2017, Streets of Prayer has grown exponentially, bringing countless individuals and families together under the banner of shared purpose.

In summary, Streets of Prayer is not just about praying for salvation—it’s about being the hands and feet of Christ in a hurting world. By combining technology, personal commitment, and communal effort, this movement seeks to leave no stone unturned in its quest to cover the globe in prayer. With every prayer uttered, every street claimed, and every soul added to a prayer list, Streets of Prayer moves closer to its audacious goal of reaching every person and street by 2030.
