For the people who hold a group together
Your people are spread out. Their prayers don’t have to be.
A private prayer space where members of a congregation, a prayer circle, or a family ask for prayer and show up for each other — across time zones, without a feed, ads, or anyone selling their words.
We’re onboarding a first cohort of groups this fall. Calls are 30 minutes, with both founders.
What changes for you.
You stop being the switchboard.
Right now every request routes through you. You hear it, you decide who to tell, you remember to follow up. Here your members answer each other directly, and you get to be one of them again.
Distance stops costing you people.
The member who moved away is still on the list. Nobody has to be online at the same time as anybody else, so no time zone has to win.
Nothing you would have to apologize for.
No ads shown to your congregation. Nothing about them sold. And a written record of what we do with their words that you can hand to an elder, a board, or a safeguarding officer.
Which is you?
All of these, and anything close to them.
- A congregation with members who moved away, or moved home, and dropped off the prayer list.
- A prayer circle whose requests are scattered across WhatsApp threads and email chains.
- A family across three countries, an anniversary nobody remembered, a thin connection.
- A chaplain or whoever keeps the list — who knows who is in the hospital and who stopped coming.
Today there is one board, shared by everyone. Group-only spaces are next — see what’s coming below.
What bringing your group in looks like.
- 1
The call.
Thirty minutes with both of us. What you run today, who your people are, what you wish existed. No slides.
- 2
Your first invitations.
You invite the first members yourself, five at a time; each accepted invitation gives you one back. The group starts with people who know each other.
- 3
The first week.
Your members post and respond on the shared board. We watch that screening and moderation are working, and we’re a message away.
- 4
What we build together.
You tell us, bluntly, what’s missing. The first cohort sees group spaces and events before anyone else and has a say in how they work.
What’s coming.
The four things group leaders asked for first — and the four we are building next.
Group spaces
A prayer request that reaches your congregation and goes no further. Your people, their own room.
Events and observances
A service, a vigil, a fast, a memorial — with everyone gathered around it, wherever they are.
Finer control over who sees what
Post to everyone, to your group, or to a few people you name. You choose.
Tools for the person running it
You are doing this work already. We would rather hear what you need than guess at it.
Nothing here has a date, and nothing is promised — but all of it is written down in public, and the first cohort sees it first and helps decide how it works.
The first cohort.
We’re looking for ten groups to start with this fall. What it involves: a 30-minute call, inviting your first members yourselves, and telling us what’s missing.
What it costs: asking for prayer and offering it are free, for everyone, for good. Some tools and services for the people running a group will be paid, later. The prayer space never will be, and we’ll tell you before anything changes.
If you’ve spoken with us for the Bay Area Online Prayer Study, this is the separate conversation we said we’d have. The study is research; this is an invitation to use the product.
Vouch for it? Here’s what you’re standing behind.
When you bring your congregation somewhere, your name is on it. So the things you’d want to check are public:
- Privacy policy — who sees what, what’s collected, what survives deletion.
- Specs & services — every company that touches a member’s data, and what each receives.
- Change log — what shipped, when, and why, including the mistakes.
- Crisis policy — what happens if a member writes something that suggests they’re in danger.
- Accessibility — where we stand against WCAG 2.2 AA, including what we haven’t measured.
We’re two people. We can’t promise to be better than the companies that sold their members’ prayers. We’ve built it so that option isn’t available to us, and written down how.
