Brook Hollow Baptist Prayer Walk

Welcome to the Brook Hollow Baptist Church Prayer Walk!

As you walk around the property, we hope you enjoy our nature trail!

2 laps on trail= 1 mile

We invite you to pray while enjoying this space. 

  • Prayer walking is a way to combine physical movement with spiritual devotion to intercede for your community. 

  • It can help you strengthen your faith, bring a sense of God’s presence, and create a dynamic form of worship.

As you walk our nature trail, we invite you to use this guide for a prayer walk:

  1. You can pray for yourself, your loved ones, your community, your neighbors, your city, your nation, and the world. 

  2. You can pray for specific needs, such as healing, provision, protection, and guidance.

  3. You can pray silently or out loud.
