"Congratulations on an Awesome resource. I am so excited to have instant access to prayer requests, praise reports and other communications throughout our church family. Although this tool is mainly used by our local congregation, it is an awesome way to keep up to date on news from missionaries and other congregations and I look forward to it becoming both a national and even international resource. Thank you for a thoroughly modern website that is easy to use!!"
--Debbie Flagg




"what i like most...is both sending out and receiving info at the time it's needed.........don't have to depend on getting hold of someone by phone or waiting until a more 'convenient' time to get a critical message out and circulating..........."
--Dave Vaughn




"When I heard of the...concept, I immediately began thinking about how my own prayer life would greatly improve. Now that the website is complete, I have used it to send prayer requests to the body, create my own personal prayer lists, and to also pray for other members of the church. My normal routine each morning includes prayer time and going online for the latest news and updates. Now I've incorporated [the site] into my prayer life. It's simpler to go online...and print out my prayer lists. Then I have my prayer time. Keeping track of my own spiritual needs, as well as the needs of others, has been made so much easier. Gone are those little slips of paper that I'd so often jot prayer requests on. [The site] is one of the best uses of the Internet that I've seen in a long time. Thanks for enhancing my prayer life!"
--Desh Bagley




"...has been a good way for our group to stay attached to the Church. We get to see all the prayer requests and are even updated quickly when there is some emergency or special concern. We also like being able to chat within our group. It just helps us keep "In Touch" in a special way while we're on the "Information highway".. And for this generation (College-Age) that is important."
--Lynn Stringfellow, College Minister




"I like the idea of putting a prayer out there and to know everyone who logs on will be able to start praying about the request. The system is very user-friendly as far as requesting prayers and updating the results. I like that you can get Sunday's prayers...since they are read so fast on Sunday that I can't get the whole request written."
--B.J. Lickman




"…a most powerful tool for caring Christians to bond through prayer & special needs & requests Instantly via Computer Technology! In a matter of seconds I am able to place a prayer need that I know will be read by at least two thirds of our congregation. What a blessing to log on...each day and spend time praying “live” for all the requests listed! But better still, to send direct e:mails of care and concern to the person/s who placed requests! It is great to log onto our own worldwide Church of Christ “live” prayers and Requests Web Page."
--Bernadine Cornelius




"[The site] is a blessing to my life. It is a great way for me to stay in touch with the Body and know what to specifically pray for. Thank you to the people who make this website a reality."
--Judy Clark




"...has been a help in reminding me each week about those who have requested prayer. As I read the list, I pray for these and am happy to add my voice in requests to God for His help. It is an informative tool in keeping us all up-dated. Could it become a tool for announcements? Could we do that on this medium and eliminate SO MANY in our public meetings?"
--Alex Humphrey




"[It] is an excellent tool for keeping up with what's happening. I can know as soon as I sign in who I need to be keeping in prayer, who needs a note of encouragement or who has a need that has to be met....and it is all at my fingertips. There is also the opportunity for a chat if anyone needs to talk day or night. ...a great way to build up the body of Christ, to encourage and love one another."
--Terry and Carl Hoover




"I utilize [it] daily. It helps me keep abreast of the latest news within the congregation such as brethren with urgent health concerns or knowledge of upcoming events taking place in the church or even of reminders. I especially like that information can be updated as needed."
--Carolyn Jewett




"I want to thank you for all of your work...I know that this has truly been an effort of the heart. I have found [the site] to be greatly useful in conveying urgent prayer needs. One of the features that I have found very useful is the daily report e-mail, which sends me the prayer list on a daily basis. This helps me to keep in mind those things that need urgent prayer and attention. The best thing I have seen...is the great flexibility that has been built into the system...It conforms to my needs and personal preferences."
--Bill Raper




"I would like to take a moment to say how grateful I am to have a system like [this site]. In today's hustle bustle world of modern technology it is very easy to get disconnected from your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. [The site] makes it possible to take a moment out of your day to see what is on the hearts of the people you care about and to share your own thoughts and concerns. I especially like that you can send an urgent prayer request that will be seen by the entire congregation that participates in the program. It has been a huge source of strength for me and I would recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to use [it]."
