A Practical Way to Help Others Through Prayer Pray It Forward is a simple tool for supporting people in need through prayer. Each time you pray for someone, they receive a notification letting them know they are being supported. How Pray It Forward Works Pray It Forward is built on a give-first model. Before submitting a prayer request, each user prays for at least ten people before they can add a prayer request. This ensures that the community always offers more support than it asks for, helping raise the global average of prayers given to requests made. • Pray for the request people have already submitted • Each prayer notifies the person you prayed for • After praying for ten people, you may submit a request • Everyone receives more support than they ask for Helping others has real value. Praying for someone can provide perspective, purpose, and a sense of connection—especially during difficult times. At the same time, knowing others are praying for you can bring comfort and reassurance. This system encourages participation, generosity, and balance. It helps ensure that no one is overlooked and that support continues to flow throughout the community. Who Pray It Forward Is For • People who want a simple way to help others • People going through difficult times and need support • Anyone who believes small actions can matter Pray It Forward creates a space where giving support comes first—and where everyone benefits from a community that chooses to care.
