Prayer Partners

Whether you are a seasoned prayer warrior or simply a person who has a heart of compassion for those in need, our Prayer Network at Refreshing Hope Ministries might be a wonderful outlet for you to be used by the Lord. We call this network "Prayer Central". The network consists of members who have chosen to be an active part of this ministry and have volunteered their time to pray for those in need. We call these wonderful people "Prayer Partners" because we do indeed consider them to be partners, co-laboring with us to minister to the flock. When a prayer request is submitted Prayer Partners reply on the website with their prayer and encouragement. The person who made the request receives the reply in their email.

Things to know before applying: We prefer that Prayer Partners respond with prayer, rather than personal opinions, but recognize that the Lord may prompt you to share information, especially things learned from your personal experience. We never want to quench the Holy Spirit! We are also in favor of offering words of encouragement and support. We are NOT in favor of passing judgement on people. If God wants to convict them, He can do that, but that is not our job here, especially in the prayer network. 

If you would like to join us as a Prayer Partner, this is what you need to do:

1. Create an account on the website.
2. Contact us and let us know that you would like to pray for others. 
3. We will reply to you once we have set you up with an upgraded member status.
4. Once accepted, you will be able to see the prayer list by going to the the prayer page (they are normally invisible for privacy purposes). The page is on the top row of the site menu or you can bookmark this link. You can reply directly from the list. You can also click on any one of the prayers and then reply from there.
5. For the first several replies that you make, there will be a delay before it goes "live". That is because all initial replies are manually reviewed by the pastoral team. We believe this review is a part of our stewardship responsibilities over the prayer network.
6. Once you are a Prayer Partner, you may also interact at the special forum, which you will find under the "Forums" tab on the site menu.

That's all! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us!
