An awesome new tool for praying geeks

I’ve been part of the private beta for People2Pray for a while now, and I like it a lot.  So much that I really wanted to tell everyone about it (and get people I know to sign up for it), but since it was in private beta, that wasn’t really practical.  Happy me this morning when I found out they opened it up for public beta.  So go sign up already!

A little more about what I love about it:

  • It’s all about making prayer intentional and trackable.  This is very much like a traditional prayer journal, but ideal for those of us who lose those under the bed but look at our homepage(s) every day.
  • Aside from the prayer-journal-like-benefits (perspective, consistancy, etc.), the tech aspect of it adds extra features: sharing, communities, connection with others, and most importantly, a means for prayers to rise all over the globe, no matter where you are.
  • They’ve really thought through the public/private aspect.  You can make a request private, public, or share with just a specific community or person.  This is very important to me, as I make most of my requests public, but there are some that need to be private for the protection of others.
  • This may be just the kind of collaborative tool that our church needs.  We’re currently using a Yahoo! Group, but I’d love to migrate to People2Pray—and I think it will help most of our prayer warriors personally, too.

Is anyone interested in creating a community for shared requests?

  1. I know isn’t it fantastic, I set up a group for the readers on my blog. It would be good to get friends and family members using it as I am sure there will be many “geeks” (including me) who will be the first to use it.

  2. Hello Mrs. Sarah,

    I was looking on saltyfish recently and stumbled across your network of blogs. It’s always a blessing to find a fellow Christian. I too would have to admit I’m a hypocrite, something I need to work on as well (in reference to one of your blogs I believe).

    Well it’s rather late on my end, and time for bed, but I just wanted to leave a note and encourage you to continue following God in all things. May he continue to bless you,

    -Joshua

  3. Check out http://www.worldprayerteam.org for a great virtual prayer session. I will look into this software as well.

    God bless and good job with the Carnival today.
