GUERNSEY PRAYER WALK
18 May 2024
The prayer walk is a tour and devotional journey passing by many of Guernsey's key sites
notable places. It is an opportunity to express unity together as a community, to gain
spiritual insight and to release the power of God's Word and Spirit over specific concerns
and parts of island life, and for particular people.
And seek the peace of the city where I have sent you into exile and pray to the Lord on its
behalf; for inits peace, you will have peace.” (Jeremiah. 29:7). The prayer of a righteous
person is powerful and effective (James 5:16).
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
HISTORY
I received the vision of the prayer walk during Covid, in August 2020. In the vision, I saw multitudes numbering in the hundreds to thousands, walking the streets in fervent prayer. As they journeyed, the desolate and disordered surroundings were transformed and made whole by the divine presence of the Holy Spirit. Concurrently, I received another vision, where numerous individuals from diverse denominations and walks of life congregated at Wembley Stadium, England. There, they united in prayer following the prayer walk. The Holy Ghost's power permeated the event and the stadium, such that in the ensuing days and weeks, people from various countries sought solace in the stadium, finding healing and answers to their prayers.
By faith, my wife and I started a family edition of prayer walk in 2021, where we walked through most of the parishes in Guernsey in one day praying. The first communal edition of the prayer walks at the Rock Community Church, Guernsey happened in 2022. We knew without doubt God was up to something in Guernsey. In 2023, more than 20 churches from various denominations took part in the prayer walk.
I will give you every place where you set your foot …. Joshua 1:3. A spiritual reawakening has begun in the
Bailiwick of Guernsey.

THE VISION
Whether you love walking, strolling, or cycling through the woods, farm fields, schools, workplaces, down a busy city sidewalk, along a beach, or strolling through neighbourhood, our vision is to elevate these exquisite experiences into impactful and enlightening spiritual transformative journeys.
We seek to catalyse spiritual awakening and stir a sweeping tide of revival fire in the body of Christ and our community, by taking our prayers to the very places where we desire to see God’s presence manifested and our prayers answered.
“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, ‘Mine!’” Abraham Kuyper

WHAT PEOPLE SAID ABOUT
THE 2023 WALK
Praying that every step taken on this walk will be a step taken to reclaim his land for his purpose to bring about a rich inheritance of faith!
A Lady from England
As we were walking by Princess Elizabeth hospital in Guernsey, I saw a picture of a big key which was needed to unlock the situation with the hospital and education funding. I knew we needed to pray that God will unlock the situation.
Dorrien Harris
As we were walking by the Methodist church in St Martins parish, I saw a church full of glowing light, and darkness in the surrounding environment. I saw men and women in chains who were attracted and drawn towards the church. As they walk towards and got closer to the church, their chains began to break.
Walker from Route 2
As we walked past areas of enjoyment like pubs, shops, tourist attractions, and although all good things, they will not bring ultimate happiness. The island needs a priority shift to focus more on God who can provide for us and give us living hope.
Paul Battle
It was a real joy to be involved in a prayer walk in St Peter Port and Fermain Valley with Christians from other churches on the Island. A particular joy was praying with Christians from other countries – it felt like a Global Village Prayer Walk and a taste of heaven!
Jon Honour
It was good to connect with people from other island churches and complete the walk together and pray together. Also, that gathering at the end was fantastic and there was some great feedback and contributions from each of the routes walked. A real sense of how we had all been part of the chain which linked up across the island in prayer walk routes.
Sophie Tidd
