Prayer Cover is designed to encourage present, quiet, faithful prayer for real people and real places. Participation is voluntary and centered on prayerful presence.
While we heartily encourage present, in-person prayer, physical presence on a street is not required. Streetkeepers may pray while walking, while driving, from home, or from any safe location.
Prayer Cover does not organize events, supervise participants, or direct individuals beyond their selected street. Each participant acts independently and uses personal judgment.
Participants should remain in public spaces, respect private property, and exercise normal awareness and personal safety at all times.
If walking, remain aware of your surroundings. If driving, continue as you normally would and avoid engaging in situations that feel unsafe.
If you ever feel unsafe, remove yourself from the situation. If needed, contact local authorities.
At times, you may encounter situations that are uncomfortable, disturbing, or offensive. These are not to be taken personally, but may serve as opportunities for prayer.
If you observe situations where help is clearly needed, we encourage you to bring those concerns to your local church leadership for guidance and appropriate response.
If someone asks what you are doing, a simple and appropriate response is: “I’m praying for the people who live and work here.”
Prayer Cover exists for quiet prayer. It is not designed to function as a public ministry event.
Prayer Cover participation does not include:
Individuals are free to serve their communities in many ways. However, those activities should remain separate from Prayer Cover participation.
Participation in Prayer Cover is voluntary. Each Streetkeeper is responsible for their own safety, decisions, and actions.
To preserve the purpose and spirit of Prayer Cover, we may restrict or discontinue participation for individuals or churches that repeatedly use the app in ways that conflict with these guidelines.
No. While we encourage present, in-person prayer, you may pray while walking, driving, from home, or from any safe location.
Prayer Cover is designed around a simple weekly rhythm. You can pray more often if you like, but once a week is the foundation.
First and foremost, pray for the salvation of each person living in that home, and that each person would grow to love the Lord with everything they have. You can also pray for peace, protection, healing, and for hearts to be open to God in every home and place along your street.
Simply return the next week. Prayer Cover is designed to be steady, not stressful.
Yes. You may cover up to two streets at a time.
Yes. You can release a street and choose another at any time.
Prayer Cover needs a few seconds to identify the specific street segment you touched and retrieve its coordinates. Press and hold briefly until the street highlights.
No. Prayer Cover is centered on quiet prayer, not interaction.
A simple response is: “I’m praying for the people who live and work here.”
Prayer Cover works alongside local churches but is not a public event or organized outreach program.
Yes. You are encouraged to share Prayer Cover with others who may want to participate.
Prayer Cover is designed to grow through both individual Streetkeepers and local churches. It is our prayer that this will create a dynamic relationship for concerted, organized prayer over our communities.
Churches begin by visiting joinprayercover.com to learn more and request the Pastor’s Kit. From there, we guide church leaders on how to introduce Prayer Cover within their congregation.
Each church is equipped with what they need to launch and support participation within their congregation.

We had an idea to divide up our town by streets and sections and ask people to assign themselves to be a prayerful watchguard over their area. To know it, to take responsibility in prayer for those people–all those people who need Jesus in every way, every day.
First we thought maybe we would purchase a big map, copy it, cut it up, and let people take their sections home. Too much paper. Too many highlighters. Some ideas are just not meant to be.
Then came an election night. Watching the map change colors gave such a strong impression of what was actually happening. You could see it. It was tangible.
And we knew then that this was the way–an electronic map!! Now since we are still writing our grocery lists on paper instead of talking into our watches, this was quite a novel undertaking. But we knew, in our bones, that God was calling us to follow Him, to believe Him when He said that the harvest is plentiful. And to ask Him to send forth laborers into His field. (ref. Matthew 9:37, 38).
So that is what we’re doing.
By creating Prayer Cover, we are creating a framework to help God’s people fan out into their neighborhoods and cities and PRAY. This is not about activism or rallies or preaching, but about prayer. Prayers for salvation, for blessing, for healing, for peace and deliverance. Prayers because God requires prayer to act. Prayers because, for reasons known only to Him, He wants us to be a part of what He is doing. He is WAITING on us. To ask. To plead. To intervene. To show up.
So will you?
Will you join this network of praying people who pray for “eyes to see” beyond yards and doors and signs and windows? A network of faithful laborers who provide Prayer Cover for those entrusted to them by God?
We hope you will.
We hope you will pray over your street, whether in person or from home, every week for the rest of your life. That this will become a rhythm of life for you–and a blessing for those under your care. And we hope that the app and the map will help you to see that you are part of something BIG, something GREAT, something TRANSFORMATIONAL. Imagine what can happen when we partner with Him in all He seeks to do in the lives of those around us!
Are you ready to pray?
The Founders
