Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1.Q: Why does your website ask me to adopt streets rather than people?

A: Good question! When we pray for streets, we should also pray for the people who live, work, and travel along these streets. Every time a street is adopted in your city, you are advancing the Kingdom of God in a very tangible way. Once you have prayed for a street for a few weeks or months, you may find yourself developing a prayer burden for individuals and organizations along that street. Recognize that the presence of God comes into a city in stages. Go to the Background , Scriptures, and More Information links on our Home Page to learn more about praying for your city and/or nation.

2. Q: Is it OK if I have a burden to adopt a street that has already been adopted?

A: Absolutely! Maybe you live at one end of the street, and the other person lives at the other end. Or perhaps there’s a big apartment building or complex on your street, which needs more than one person praying for it. Remember that the ultimate goals are (1) to have at least one person praying for every single individual living in Newark and, (2) ideally, for each individual to know who specifically is praying for him or her. These goals are described in the book, Prayer Evangelism, which is listed in the More Information link. Adopting a street is just the first step toward achieving these long-term objectives.

3. Q: Are there other cities and/or nations where people are praying for streets or neighborhoods?

A: Absolutely. Experts estimate that more than 800 cities around the world are undergoing transformation through prayer at this time. Some of these transformation movements involve entire nations.

4.Q: I would like to begin to pray for a street, but I’m not very knowledgeable about the Bible. Is this a problem? Where can I learn more about how to study the Bible?

A: Not a problem at all! Just send an email to World Impact, and one of our staff will be glad to help you with these important questions.
