Create your account
On Create Account you can either:

Ready to transform the nation through prayer?
Start a prayer walk
Start tracking in either way:
- Tap Start Prayer Walk under Quick Actions on Home, or
- Open the Walk tab in the bottom menu and tap Start Prayer Walk.
Enable GPS location
The app needs access to your GPS so it can track your route. Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked, choose Allow all the time (or the equivalent on your device) so tracking continues while the phone is in your pocket.
Prayer Walking The Nations uses your location to track prayer walks — including when the app is in the background.
Walk while it tracks
Once location is allowed, tap Start Prayer Walk again if needed. You'll see live distance, time, and points. Put the phone in your pocket and continue your prayer walk as usual — the app keeps mapping your route.
Need a break? Tap Pause to stop tracking temporarily, then Resume when you're ready. Tap Stop when you finish (next step).
Stop, save, or discard
When you finish, tap Stop. You'll get two choices:
- Stop & Save — keeps the route you just walked.
- Stop Without Saving — discards the session (useful if you want to start again).
Are you sure you want to stop this prayer walk session?
See your route and progress
After you save, that area is marked on the map. The app tracks your prayer walks over time — distance, total time, and more — and can show other people's routes as well so you see the movement growing together.
Your route is on the map. Stats update on Home — distance, time, and other walkers nearby.
