Setting Up a Prayerline

The prayer line at out Church has been a real success. For our pastor; it gives her a sense of purpose even at her home. The fact is that if you have got a prayerline that you can attend to; you will touch peoples life in a mighty and awesome way. For us; its just amazing of all the people who needs prayer.

What would you need?

1. 0800 numbers or you may decide to use an o207/ or 8 numbers. Whatever you use ensure that you do no use your home number, normal mobile number as it is better to dedicate a line for that purpose.
   
2. To market your prayerline in your community on flyers, business cards, stickers etc. You will find that most people are more receptive of a "prayerline" advert than a "come to church" advert. Ideally, you would love them to come to your church; but even if they don't..Remember its a Kingdom affair! Think Kingdom..
3. You may need a web page with the details of your prayer ministry if you are advertising it online by major search engines.
4. You may need a computer to receive calls via skype; otherwise you will need a dedicated line in your home or mobile phone
5. Last, but certainly not the least, a dedicated person who will be there when you say they will on your tools for marketing.
