Prayer chains

A prayer chain that doesn't stop at the first phone call

A request gets mentioned on Sunday, passed around once, and forgotten by Wednesday. Compel turns each request into a plan: the right people on your care team are asked to pray, spread over the days that matter, and you can see who did.

Free for 14 days. Prayer campaigns by email are on every plan; by text on Growth.

Requests come in however people share them

Record a need yourself, turn a text someone sent the church into a request, or take requests from your prayer sheet.

Compel suggests the plan

Tell it the situation and how urgent it is. Compel proposes who to ask and when: more often before a surgery, tapering off after it. You review it before anything goes out.

Your care team answers with a word

Each person gets a text or email asking them to pray, and replies AMEN when they have. You can see who prayed.

Kind to the people you ask

Quiet hours, a daily limit for each person and their own preferred channel are respected, so nobody is flooded.

A printable prayer sheet

Every open need on one page for Sunday, with a QR code that opens the live sheet.

No app, no logins

Members never install anything or sign in. It all happens in the texts and emails they already read.

How a request becomes care

  1. 1A request arrives: from you, a text to the church, or the prayer sheet.
  2. 2Compel proposes a campaign based on what's happening and how soon.
  3. 3You approve it, or adjust who and when.
  4. 4Your care team is asked over the following days, and replies AMEN.
  5. 5The need drops off the list when it's done.

Questions churches ask

Do church members need to download an app?
No. Compel reaches people by text message and email. Nobody but your staff ever signs in.
Can we keep prayer requests private?
You choose which team each need goes to, and what the message says. Only the people you ask receive it.
What if someone doesn't text?
Each member can choose text, email or both, and change it themselves from any message we send.
