Need Prayer?

Your local church is often the best and most immediate resource. Here are ways to engage:

1. Prayer Team / Prayer Chain

   • Ask your pastor or church office if your church has a “prayer chain” (via email, text, WhatsApp group, etc.).

   • Submit your request to the prayer team; ask whether they’ll commit to praying daily, weekly, or for a period.

2. Pastoral / Pastoral Care Ministry

   • Meet or call your pastor, associate pastor, or elders who pray for congregants.

   • Many churches have a pastoral care or counseling ministry that will walk with you in prayer and spiritual support.

3. Small Groups / Life Groups / Cell Groups

   • Share your need with a trusted small group and ask for help to pray.

   • Praying in agreement (Matthew 18:19) can bring spiritual encouragement and accountability.

4. Church Prayer Events / Nights of Prayer

   • Many churches host monthly or quarterly “prayer nights” or “24/7 (round-the-clock) prayer” events.

   • These are good times to bring and lift up urgent needs.

5. Church Website or App

   • Some churches have an online prayer request form or portal.

   • If your church uses an app or online portal, see if there’s a “Prayer Request” module.

6. Connection / Referral to Other Churches

   • If your church is small or doesn’t have robust prayer ministries, ask for referrals to larger churches or ministries in your city that host prayer gatherings.

7. Prayer Visiting Ministry (if available)

   • Some churches offer “prayer visits” where someone will come to pray in-person (home, hospital) with you.
