Message boards and chat rooms have existed on
the internet for years. Prayer "boards" are also
available on the internet for people to post their
prayer requests. ThePrayStation is on the cutting
edge of a newer development, the interactive prayer
forum. Far beyond simply posting prayer requests,
this format involves a community-like setting where
people pray for each other by posting their actual
prayers.
ThePrayStation was founded in 2005 to serve as
an online venue for WorkingMom.com to expand our
outreach ministry by facilitating interactive prayer
to the God of the Bible, the source of help for
every need. ThePrayStation was designed to function
the way a prayer group or "prayer circle" would
work in a live church setting. An advantage of
online prayer forums is that they can occur on
a global level, at any time, furthermore there
is a tangible record of the prayers that can be
referred to again and again.
