Echo exists to help you pray. We believe that prayer is a powerful and effective way for us to connect with God. If you're anything like us, the biggest obstacles that keep you from praying are difficulty organizing or keeping a list of your prayers, and then actually remembering to pray for those things when life gets busy. Echo was created to solve these problems, and to give you space to engage with your Creator. We want to help you pray without ceasing. “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + KEEP TRACK OF ALL YOUR PRAYERS Echo lets you keep a list of every single one of your prayers. You can add as many prayers as you want, categorize them, delete old prayers, and even mark prayers as answered so you can see how God is working (and remember to thank Him!). SHARE PRAYER REQUESTS WITH OTHERS You have the ability to share prayer requests with other individuals or groups. Share prayers with friends and family privately, or create a group to communicate together. Sharing works great for small groups or focused communities committing to pray for each other throughout the week. REMIND YOURSELF TO PRAY You can easily set up push notifications or emails to remind you to pray for your prayers, prayers that others have shared with you, or prayers from your groups. Reminders help you engage with God throughout the week, even when you find yourself busy with life. PRAY WITHOUT DISTRACTION Echo gives you the ability to "Pray Now" which gives you a clear, focused way to pray. Choose what you would like to pray for and optionally set a timer for how long you want to pray. NOTIFY PEOPLE WHEN YOU’VE PRAYED FOR THEM After praying for someone, send out a notification to let them know you’ve prayed for their shared prayer. You get the option of sending out a message of encouragement after praying for them in the “Pray Now” portion of the app. FOLLOW & PRAY FOR YOUR MINISTRY With Echo Feeds, you can follow any ministry and pray for them! If you are a church or ministry, replace your old-school prayer chain or email list with a platform that is beautiful, organized, powerful and instant. Send real-time updates to your network, and connect your community in prayer. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Echo Plus+ Membership We offer many features for free, but to access all the features in Echo, you will need a paid subscription.
