Mapping your prayers

How can we pray for every street in the UK and reach every home? One street, one home, one prayer at a time… could it be yours?

The Oikos Outreach App is a great free app to help us pray and share our faith. ‘OIKOS’ is the Greek word for ‘every home’ and the aim of the app is to encourage us in our daily and weekly habits to be praying for our streets and sharing Jesus with our community.


Users are encouraged to ‘tap to tag’ their street once they’ve prayed for it, which will then mark it as ‘prayed for’ with a pin. You can also add ‘share’ pins to capture moments where you’ve shared the love and hope of Jesus with your neighbours – whether with words or actions.

You can use it as you physically move through your community or virtually. This app allows us to get a picture of the many thousands of Jesus followers praying for their streets.

Hope - a prayer with Glen Podd
Glen takes us to Isaiah 9:6 and reminds us that the Bible speaks about a very different kind of hope. The promised Messiah came just as God said he would. Because Jesus came once, we can live with absolute confidence that he will come again.
Light and Life - a prayer with Rana Kundi
Join Rana in a short but powerful prayer to Jesus, the Light of the World and giver of life. Thank God for the gift of physical and eternal life, and ask him to increase his light within you so that you can shine for his glory.
Incarnation - a prayer with Adelle Howells
In this short prayer, Adelle leads us in thanking God for the miracle of Jesus’ coming. We remember that the Maker of heaven and earth stepped into our weakness, pain and brokenness so that we could be brought close to him.
Healing - a prayer with Alex Morgan
Join Alex in a focused prayer for healing across the UK and Ireland. Calling on Jehovah Rapha, we ask for renewed wells of healing and radical, supernatural breakthroughs across bodies, minds, emotions and spirits.
Awe and wonder - a prayer with Ian Yates
In this short guided prayer, Ian invites us to behold the beauty, majesty and might of the Lord. As we gaze on Him, may our hearts be stirred with awe and wonder, our lives shaped by holy reverence, and our steps marked by obedience and wisdom.
