Did you know that most Americans check their cell phones within 10 minutes of waking up in the morning and will check their phone over 100 times throughout the day? Why? Like you, they do it to stay in contact with friends and loved ones, to get news, or to check social media feeds. The goal is to stay connected. But how many people think about how prayer can connect us and how praying together can unite us in purpose?
Introducing the Pray First Responders program. This is a new and exciting nationwide prayer movement for God’s people who are committed to pray for special prayer concerns in our country.
Here’s how it works. Pray First Responders will receive a text on their phone, notifying them of urgent and timely needs within America as they arise. Then, we can pray together as a nation united, and watch God work. It is simple but very effective. We are seeking faithful people like you, who value prayer, to commit and join as a Pray First Responder.
Pray First is a way to make a difference in America as you join in prayer with others, wherever you are. Be part of this national movement of prayer when you sign up today and become a Pray First Responder!
Text JOIN to 772911 today.
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.)
We use the largest text messaging providers for near-instant sending, and we are ready to send alerts with important prayer needs, within minutes, to millions of cell phones across the country.
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.
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.
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.
You may receive 1 or 2 per week, with up to 8 messages per month. Messages will be limited to local daytime hours.
This is a free service for all who participate, and most cell phone providers offer free texting. We trust God’s people will see the impact value this service and support our costs – as they have over the past 22 years.
You can opt-out at any time by simply replying STOP to 772911. And you can rejoin again later at your convenience.
