Prayer Requests

Let anyone — members, visitors, people who follow your church online — send you a prayer request from their phone, and keep track of them in one place so none gets forgotten.

Turning it on

In Church Settings, tick Public prayer request form and save. Your church now has a simple public page where people write their request. Once it’s on:

• a 🙏 Prayer request button appears on your Church Links page and on your Church Website;
• the Prayer Requests screen shows the page’s link, a Copy link button and a QR code you can download — put it on the screen during the service, in the bulletin or in your WhatsApp groups.

The form asks for the request and, optionally, a name, phone and email. People can also tick Only for the pastors if they don’t want it shared with the prayer team.

Following up

Every request arrives in Prayer Requests as New. From there you can:

• change its Status to Praying, Answered (celebrate it!) or Archived;
• assign it to someone who will pray or follow up;
• add internal notes that only your team sees;
• filter by status, or show only the requests marked Pastors only.

You can also add requests yourself — for example one someone shared with you after the service — with Add prayer request.

Who can see them

By default, only Administrators and Coordinators can see and manage prayer requests, because people often share personal things. If you have a prayer team, you can give them access in Users & Roles with custom permissions. Requests marked Pastors only are flagged so your team knows not to share them.
