Prayer Walk
If you are interested in seeing the city in a different light, click the button below to access the prayer walk of the State Capital Building monuments.
You are able to learn more about the story of the city and the experiences of the people residing in Austin. During this tour, you will not only get to know Austin, but we will be able to do our first and greatest ministry for the city – to pray for it. Try and keep a prayerful atmosphere as you walk around the monuments within the grounds of the Capital Building. After each stop, you will have the opportunity to pray for the city. There is no specific prayer to pray, whatever words you use are just fine.
