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.
