This week’s idea spotlight is from Austin MacKintosh, Student Ministry Director at Oak Hills Church<\/a> in San Antonio, TX. The Prayer Pilgrimage is a youth group prayer activity designed to creatively engage students in different types of prayer. It is a great way to break down walls with students and empower them to learn to pray outside the walls of the church building.<\/p>\n

Youth Group Prayer Activity Description:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Set up 7 prayer stations for students to move through sequentially. In order, these prayer stations are:<\/p>\n

1. Who is God?
\n2. Prayer of Consecration
\n3. Prayer of Confession
\n4. Prayer of Intervention
\n5. Prayer of Inner-Healing
\n6. Prayer of Listening
\n7. Praise and Thanksgiving

Prayer Pilgrimage Tips:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1) Plan plenty of time<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Austin did the Prayer Pilgrimage with his students, he noticed that even the students who were typically unengaged were spending a lot of time and energy at each station.
\n 
\n2) Pay attention\u00a0to the environment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider dimming the lights, having incandescent lamps\/bulbs around the room, and having worship music playing lightly in the background. If you have Spotify Premium,\u00a0consider using this\u00a0Reflective Worship Playlist<\/a>\u00a0that our youth pastor friend TJ Bream put together.
\n 
\n3) Prepare your\u00a0volunteers to be able to pray with and counsel students, as necessary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “Prayer of Inner-Healing” station, in particular, has the potential to evoke emotions in students that they need to process through with a trusted adult. Make sure your adult volunteers are aware of what to expect and are equipped to walk through these thoughts & feelings with students.
