The vision of Prayer Ireland was actually birthed in a time of prayer when God downloaded this idea and the basic format of the app. We all carry our phones 'for better or for worse' but here is an opportunity to participate in a united digital community of prayer wherever you are in the world. At the heart of the app is a calendar where you can choose any and as many 15 minute slots as you would like. Several people can choose the same slot of course. Ideally, we eventually want to achieve a 24-7 covering of prayer. Various prayer resources and articles to help you to pray will be added to the app on an ongoing basis. There will also be a devotional that will inspire you to pray. The exciting feature of an interactive world map will locate where in the world people are using the app to pray for Ireland.
