Light the Way
Dear Prayer Warrior,
As we approach the National Day of Prayer on May 1, 2025, we are filled with anticipation and hope. This year, we have the opportunity to make it one of the largest National Day of Prayers in recent memory, but we need your help!
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25
As America’s prayer team, we’ve set a bold goal: to mobilize prayer in every corner of our land. To achieve this, we’re seeking to raise an additional $35,000 by month-end. This crucial support will directly fund:
- Expanded Outreach: Enhancing our online platforms to be able to connect more people with updates and prayer needs.
- Prayer Tools: Supporting our writing and development network as they continue to put together guides, audio systems, IPrayRadio, and more.
- Resource Distribution: Providing prayer guides and materials to churches and individuals nationwide, empowering them to participate fully.
We have witnessed so much positive change and growth in our nation over the past few months. And we see God’s hand at work in our ministry, too, as we have been joined by thousands of new members praying daily for the president and his administration, as well as record-breaking visitors praying to our site. His blessings are abundant, and we have countless reasons to thank Him.
Every year, the National Day of Prayer captures the attention of our nation, drawing people together in prayer and reflection. We invite you to partner with us in this mission. Your generosity will help us extend our reach, impact, and offerings–ensuring that more people can join us in prayer and thanksgiving.
As our special thank you, we would like to send you a prayer team member sticker with a gift of any size. As you display it on your car, window, or anyplace else, let it serve as a daily reminder of your our vital role together in this nationwide prayer movement, and an invitation to others to be joined in prayer.
Thank you for your support and for standing with us as we honor God and seek His guidance for our nation.
Jim Bolthouse
President

Key Questions and Answers
Q: Who can join?
A. You and everyone who prays! We encourage you to invite family, friends, and church members to join. They can text INFO to 772911 for full information. (U.S. and Canadian cell phone numbers only at this time.)
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. This allows us to use the largest text messaging providers for near-instant sending, to reach millions of cell phone across the country.

A: You will receive an immediate response confirming that you are now a Prayer First Responder. Regular text notifications will begin early October when the system goes live.
Q: What should I do when I receive a message?
A: When a prayer text message arrives on your phone, take the matter before the Lord. You will be joining a vast community of prayer warriors who received the same message and praying with you at the same time.
Q: What if I prefer to receive email?
A: If you are signed up to receive daily and/or weekly emails from the prayer team, those will continue with no interruption. This is simply a new service aimed at providing timely prayer needs to your fingertips as quickly and effectively as possible. Email can sometimes be slowed by service providers, or even blocked, and this service will ensure unfiltered delivery.

A: You may receive 1 or 2 per week, with up to 8 messages per month. Messages will be limited to local daytime hours.
