Whether you are a seasoned prayer warrior or simply a person who has a heart of compassion for those in need, our Prayer Network at Refreshing Hope Ministries might be a wonderful outlet for you to be used by the Lord. We call this network "Prayer Central". The network consists of members who have chosen to be an active part of this ministry and have volunteered their time to pray for those in need. We call these wonderful people "Prayer Partners" because we do indeed consider them to be partners, co-laboring with us to minister to the flock. When a prayer request is submitted Prayer Partners reply on the website with their prayer and encouragement. The person who made the request receives the reply in their website notifications.
Things to know before applying: We prefer that Prayer Partners respond with prayer, rather than personal opinions, but recognize that the Lord may prompt you to share information, especially things learned from your personal experience. We never want to quench the Holy Spirit! We are also in favor of offering words of encouragement and support. We are NOT in favor of passing judgement on people. If God wants to convict them, He can do that, but that is not our job here, especially in the prayer network.
If you would like to join us as a Prayer Partner, this is what you need to do:
- Create an account on the website.
- Contact us and let us know that you would like to pray for others.
- We will reply to you once we have set you up with an upgraded member status.
- Once accepted, you will be able to see the prayer list by going to the the Prayer Network on the main menu. You can then click on any of the requests, choose "Prayed" to let the requestors know that you prayed for them, or type a personal prayer response, if He leads you to do that.
- For the first several replies that you make, there will be a delay before it goes "live". That is because all initial replies are manually reviewed by the pastoral team. We believe this review is a part of our stewardship responsibilities over the prayer network.
That's all! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us!
We are in the middle of replacing the firewall, switching, and upgrading the Internet to Fiber. In the end, it will one-hundred times faster, from 20 to 2,000, but things are a bit hectic here at the moment. You may have received 20+ devotionals this morning. I did. Hopefully that will not happen tomorrow! We have been working on it since 3AM and are aware of the issues. Thank you for patience and understanding during the upgrade which will hopefully be over this week! God bless. 😀🙏

Today's writing By Pastor Dion was right on time for me. His words inspire meveveryday, as I seek to know more about Jesus and how to live a Christian life. I need prayers to get along here at home with my partner. .....to not be so impatient and argumentative. To listen, as well as be heard. I need prayers for my health issues. Help me to stay in TODAY!

Dear Pastor, please know that you and Sylvia are in my prayers!!! Had been trying to sign in yesterday, but couldn't, and since we had some really bad storms up here practically all of Monday, rain and flooding, I thought that something happened to you! Please know that you are in my prayers! 🙏 My heartfelt gratitude for all that you do and your dedication, thanking the Lord for you! 🙏🤗
