Strengthening Our Nation Through Prayer
Dear Prayer Partner,
We hope your Christmas was blessed with joy, love, and a heartfelt celebration of Christ’s birth. As 2024 draws to a close, we give thanks to God for the privilege of serving you this past year. With great anticipation, we look forward to 2025 and the blessings God has in store for our ministry and our nation.
“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
The Presidential Prayer Team remains committed to being an effective and efficient full-time prayer ministry, dedicated to praying for America and its leaders. We are proud to reach more people at a lower cost than many other ministries, maximizing the impact of your spiritual investment. As a valued friend of our ministry, we want to remind you that your contributions can have an even greater impact right now, with every dollar you give being matched.
In addition to our many programs, daily devotionals, and prayer updates, we have essential needs that ensure our ministry continues to thrive. These include:
- Website and Email Servers: We independently maintain these to ensure reliable and secure communication.
- Digital Security: Protecting our digital infrastructure, data, and privacy.
- Building Maintenance and Utilities: Keeping our facilities operational for our staff.
- Supporting Our Team: Providing for the needs of our dedicated writers, staff, and their families.
Since 2001, we have been dedicated to providing daily prayer support, leadership, resources, and encouragement. If you have not yet had the chance to contribute, we invite you to show your support with a generous one-time gift or a monthly faith commitment. For those who have already given, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your faithfulness and trust in our vital work. Your generosity empowers us to continue supporting our nation’s leaders with a strong foundation of prayer, which is especially crucial in these challenging times.
Faithfully in your service,
Jim Bolthouse
President
P.S. May God bless you abundantly as we step into a new season of faith and service. Thank you again for your faithfulness and prayers.

Q: Does this work on any smart device or phone?
A: Pray First will work with any registered phone device that has a 10-digit number (U.S. and Canada with active SIM/eSIM). It is not compatible with third-party messaging systems that do not require a phone number.

A: If you are signed up to receive daily and/or weekly emails from the prayer team, those will continue with no interruption.
