-Missionary PrayerGuard

Every minister needs a PrayerGuard.
(People who back them up in prayer as they work to promote the Gospel.)
Even Paul needed a PrayerGuard:

"Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you; and that we may be delivered from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith." -2Thes. 3:1-2

The problem
The problem is, people are busy, and they can forget you need their prayers. When they do remember, they often don't know what to pray. They have never been where you are, and don't know the challenges you face.

Being missionaries on the foreign field, we know what it's like to have a strong prayer shield, and what it's like to have a weak one. Trust me, strong is better.

The solution
We have designed PrayerGuard to help keep your prayer shield up and active. By providing short specific topics for prayer, and sending automatic reminders, we help those busy people remember your needs and pray straight to the point.

By encouraging scripture-based praying, they are empowered to pray with boldness and faith. People who have more confidence in prayer will pray more, and pray better.

We look forward to serving you,
Wayne Dillard

-More Details

Three topics are displayed for each day, along with a scripture and sample prayer. Your name will be inserted into the sample prayer for each topic. There are several prayers for each topic, and dozens of topics, so each day is a different prayer experience.

Egroups
An egroup is like a mailing list. You can send an email to everyone on the list, just by sending it to the list address. To have PrayerGuard email automatic reminders to your egroup, just add your egroup posting address to your PrayerGuard profile when you register. The reminder will be sent every 5 days, and includes your “Pray for me" prayer-link.
