Introducing the dearGod App, this isn't just another prayer list app. Have you ever been asked to pray for someone, but then forgot? True spiritual growth occurs when groups of people pray together for themselves and others. However, praying together effectively doesn't come easy, and we're often left wondering how to best engage in group prayer. Enter the dearGod app—a solution crafted to address these very challenges. The dearGod app solves these problems by helping you forge a personal prayer family as large as you like. The app will connect you with others in prayer in ways traditional social media apps can't. Don't just pray alone or forget to pray for others, pray for each other with your personal prayer network. Praying together has the power to reshape ourselves and the world that surrounds us. Stop forgetting to pray for others. Embrace the power of collective prayer. Come to a place of deep intimacy with God as you discover a new way to pray together as a community. "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us." John 5:14 This application requires a reliable internet connection to function. This app is being distributed without a subscription charge. However, the online database we use does charges us, and our expenditures increase as we grow. Our hope is to operate entirely by donation as a 501(c)(3) charity. Pray this happens. Thank you for your prayers, The dearGod Development Team.
