Prayer is a powerful part of our daily lives.

The goal of the SBC "Churches Praying for Churches" campaign is to promote supportive prayer for every single Southern Baptist church. We are encouraging both individual believers and church prayer groups to pray -- not only for their own church, but for other churches as well.

By daily lifting up a sister church in prayer, we can ask God to bless and support that church, its staff, and each member. We ask that God's will be done above all and that His Word be preached to the church's community. [ Register now ]

How the Program Works

Southern Baptist individuals and/or church prayer groups can register on our website to become part of this campaign. You may also register over the phone by calling 1-888-PRAYER2. By signing up, you commit to pray for one to five Southern Baptist churches each week, for 12 weeks. By making this commitment, you agree to bathe your sister church in prayer by name each day during the week it is assigned to you. This includes lifting up individual requests presented by your sister church.

When you register you will provide your email address. We will assign you a 6-digit number that will be your personal Volunteer ID#. The only information we require from you is your name, email address and your home Church ID#. The Church ID# can be found by searching for your home church in our ChurchSearch database.

Your participation in the "Churches Praying for Churches" program allows your church to be shown as a Prayer Volunteer church. This means that one or more members from your church are part of the program and are faithfully praying for other Southern Baptist churches around the country. This will be indicated by a seal of participation presented on your ChurchSearch information page.

You, the Prayer Volunteer, will be assigned your first church assignment upon registration with suggested starting and ending dates to pray for this church. Our goal is for you to pray for this church by name daily during your personal prayer time. If you wish to pray for more than one church during the week (up to a maximum of 5), you may request additional church assignments using this website. At the end of your first week, you can request your next church assignment. The program will continue for 12 weeks.

We have also provided the means for individual churches (including your home church) to submit specific church prayer requests using Church Update. As a Prayer Volunteer, you will be able to lift up in prayer specific prayer requests submitted by your assigned church. These prayer requests could be for church growth, evangelism and mission opportunities, or general prayer requests for the pastor, staff and members.

Conclusion

When this program concludes, we pray that "Churches Praying for Churches" will have helped you grow in your daily prayer life. We pray that there will be an increased dependency on prayer as a foundational, essential and primary facet of every believer's life. We pray for the outpouring of the Spirit of God on our denomination and in the communities in which our churches serve. We also pray that "Churches Praying for Churches" will lead to an increased sense of community on the part of individual Southern Baptist churches and volunteers, and to greater inter-church partnering projects and missions work for the future.

"Churches Praying for Churches" is a cooperation between the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee (SBC-EC), the North American Mission Board (NAMB), and the Empowering Kingdom Growth (EKG) task force.
