Prayer is a vital element of the Worship 24/7 ministry. In addition to the website Prayer Wall, two times per year Worship 24/7 sets aside a day to invite listeners to call in, or text in, and the staff and local prayer teams pray for each person and request.
“We started this outreach two years ago when we realized the only time we asked people to call us was when we were doing our fundraisers, and that seemed very self-serving. With such a small staff we decided that the least we could do was serve our listeners by being available to pray,” states David Harms, General Manager of Worship 24/7. “We don’t counsel listeners; we just invite them to call in if they need or desire prayer.”
The Day of Prayer was held on Thursday, October 17th and by 9am more prayer requests had come in than in any other Day of Prayer. “By the end of the day nearly 300 listeners entrusted us with praying for their needs – a record,” added Harms. “The requests came in from as far away as Uganda and France, and the needs covered everything from health issues, to financial burdens, to healing for marriages, to addictions needing to be overcome. We even had a high school freshman ask for prayer because she was consistently showing up to school intoxicated … including that morning.”
