& Linda,
I
found your site and I am enjoying your articles. I am a full
gospel pastor that has become involved in Celtic
Christianity. We would appreciate your prayers, as we are
doing a similar thing in 11/13/08_______________________________ I was enjoying your posts about Telemachus,
and I read where you heard 11/8/08_______________________________ Greetings, Already this morning I have been to the Daily
Office page to begin my day, and the Prayer
Requests page. Oh, by the way, it is very cool that you
have put The Lord's
Prayer, Psalm 23
and Psalm 117 as a
foundation to the three hours of prayer. I expect I will soon have
the two Psalms memorized (already have The
Lord's Prayer, from childhood). That is one of the things
that I appreciate the most about how you have things set up in this
website: Scripture memorization, praying
the Psalms (Psalms
is my favorite book of the Bible) and all the wonderful articles and
helps for prayer. It is God's call on my life, and your website
will be most helpful as I follow that leading. Amen. 11/7/08_________________________________ My life as a monk has so much enriched my life that I am filled with gratitude.

Dear
brothers and sisters,
Not so long ago I
discovered your site - and I'm enjoying it!
I'm thrilled to find
something that's on the one hand so clearly Protestant, yet
at the very same time so broad in choosing resources to draw from
for our spiritual growth!
As I put my name down for a
prayer slot, I was wondering about this prayer chain.
From a very early age
I've been intrigued by the hymn that says:
"The sun that bids us rest is waking our brethren 'neath the Western sky, and hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wond'rous doings heard on high." As a result I'm always curious about the workings of a prayer chain. For instance, I'd love to know whether most of the slots are filled, whether we overlap with other prayer warriors, etc.
Questions like these made
me wonder if it would be possible to make some details of this
prayer chain public to all those who pray.
The simplest option
would be to have a different colour for a block of time for which
someone has put down his/her name. When we fill in the form
for this, we could even be given the choice whether or not we want any
of our details to be shown (name, country, etc.) and/or whether
we'd like to hear from others who pray at the same time.
Another option could be to shade the blocks in a way that shows the
continent where the prayer warrior lives.
With my prayers for God's
richest blessings on your ministry,
Jorine B.

from The Prayer Foundation ™:
Thank
you for your encouraging words. We started our 24
Hr. Prayerchain on Nov. 8, 2000, and colored the boxes in
black when that time was taken by someone. We thought it would
take two months to fill in all of the spaces, but it actually took
nearly two years. We were surprised to find that half of all the
volunteers wanted to pray between one and three p.m. on Sunday
afternoons (which was fine!). So all of the spaces have been
colored in black for about six years now (we currently have nearly
1,700 Prayer Warriors in 34 Countries, so they are all covered pretty
well).
Yes, anyone
praying "overlaps" with, at the very least, hundreds of
other Prayer Warriors.
Your ideas
are very good nice ones---we had actually not thought of them.
Regrettably, we have been running behind ever since the Boston
Globe articles mentioning us came out last February.
We liked your
Hymn stanza and have posted it on our Prayer
Requests page.
Thank you so
much for praying for us!

I've
been praying for the prayer requests for awhile now, and I know its a
privilege to do so. I've been praying for you also, increasingly....
Your welfare
is extremely important to me...I've recently signed up for the
newsletter...
Thank you!

P.S.:
I just found my input on here for 5/7/08, from California!
Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your life and hopes.
Your ministry has
changed my
life.

I thank the Lord for the ministry of your web pages which are a
tremendous encouragement.
I have been a daily visitor to your website for about 3 months now. I have applied to support the prayerchain a couple of times but not heard any response. The Prayer Foundation's website is a tremendous encouragement. After prayer, tangible support is vital. To this end a commitment is going to be made in the next week as per conviction received in prayer. Apart from the commitment made to the prayer chain, the Foundation's ministry is on my prayer list. I give thanks to the Lord for His ministry through The Prayer Foundation. Yours in His service, Brother Bruce (England)

from The Prayer Foundation ™:
Thank you for your greatly appreciated
concern. Please keep praying for us---we are still struggling to catch
up to date with a vast backlog of interest/emails/mailings that has
occurred ever since last Feb. when the Boston
Globe articles came out. We have finally gotten the
website back to daily updates for the first time since June and
will continue this, as we continue working to catch up the mailings,
which are still several months behind. We have only a very small
volunteer staff who receives no compensation for what they do.
As soon as we catch up, we will be moving in some additional new areas
of ministry that we are very excited about.
To put it all in perspective, recently the Billionaire Oilman, T. Boone Pickens, spent 18 million dollars (over a 3 month period) for television ads to receive 3 million "hits" per month to his website over the same period. We are currently receiving over 1 million "hits" per month (one-third of his) on a budget of approximately $200.00 USD per month, with no advertising ever having been done. Praise God! We receive over 200 emails per day from around the world and are regrettably unable to respond to most of them.
