Steps to Start a Prayer Line

 

1. Enlist listeners for your prayer line.

Gathering like-minded individuals to listen to your prayer line is the first step. You can ask people from your church group, online, friends and family. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t have a ton of people right off the bat. Your prayer line will grow with time.

2. Set up a free conferencing account to host your prayer line with up to 1000 people at a time.

Setting up your own prayer line account is really easy and FREE. When you create an account with FreeConference.com's prayer line software you will have access to your own dedicated dial-in and 15+ dial-in numbers (Including the United States, Canada & International), an access code, and moderator pin right away. That’s all you need to start a call. Free accounts and can accommodate up to 1000 callers at a time from almost anywhere in the world. All you need to do is submit your email address to get started.

3. Pick a subject or topic to talk about on your prayer line in advance.

Choose the topic or person you will pray for in advance and create a written list of prayer points - this will help you to stay on topic and on track during your call. Consider sending these prayer points to your audience in advance in your invitations, this will allow people to think about their intentions. Participants tend to be more vocal if they have time to think about what they are going to say beforehand.

4. Let your participants know that your prayer line is ready to go!

Start by selecting a time and date that works well and send out emails with your dial-in information.

You’ll want to test the audio and review your default settings. For example, FreeConference.com has settings that control entry and exit chimes, name announce, waiting room music and three mass muting modes. Make sure that you have selected the settings that are right for your Prayer Call.
