Cycle
Cycling is a great way to cross ‘the great outdoors’. So if you enjoy cycling, then why not engage with ARISE Peaks & Dales prayer in this way.
Firstly, ‘stay safe’ and pull up into a gateway or layby, and take time to pray for for homes, farms, and all who work the land, especially during the busy season of lambing where the days are very long.
If you are registered on the ARISE Prayer App., you can confirm the route covered, and perhaps add a prayer need. This is on the main map screen.

Drive
The Peaks and Dales as mapped on the App. are over sixteen times the area of Sheffield, and the Peak District is twelve times the area.
The population of Sheffield is around 600,000. The Peak District by comparison is just 38,000, but with approaching 15 million visitors each year.
In Sheffield the majority of roads have pathways, In the Peak District there are very few. So, when driving between villages and towns? Stop when it is safe, in such as a layby. Take time to pray for homes, farms, and those who work the land. Use the App., and you can map your route.

ARISE Buddy?
Become an ‘ARISE Prayer Buddy’ for those who cannot walk far, or sadly are unable to walk at all. Their prayers are as precious to the Lord as any.
You don’t have to be right on the spot to pray, for your prayers to be heard, simply have a faithful heart before the King of Kings.
If we remember the account of the Centurion and his sick servant. His faith in Jesus was clear, as he said ‘only say the word’’ … Matthew 8:5-13 .
So, if you need a Buddy to help you, simply email brian@arisepd.org.
Tell us your story
Tell us your stories of prayer walks, perhaps some pictures too, like this one of two lovely horses in Hope Valley. Perhaps stories about people you met along the way.
It can be a suprise when out and about, we just happen to meet folk, not looking to chat, but then it jusy happens that way.
Be open to the Lord opening the doors for you.
One sunny winter morning there was a lady in Buxton listening to a street preacher, who said she did not beleive in God, but looked to the sky, the birds, the trees, all of nature. Then she read the first verses of Psalm 19. The Lord provided the Word.
