prayer pager ministry

The Prayer Pager is a means by which a concerned person can let someone in need know that they are praying for them. When the individual dials the assigned phone number a message will inform them what code to enter to send the “prayer message.” The person with the pager will then receive a page letting them know that you are praying for them at that time.

How to Organize a Prayer Pager Ministry
How can your church or organization implement the Prayer Pager Ministry?
It is actually very simple!
 
  1. Set up an account with a local pager company.
  2. Decide how many pagers you want to have and lease or purchase the units.
Some of these pagers should be local, some state-wide, perhaps even nation-wide, depending on where the pager recipient is going for treatment. (Each pager will, of course, be assigned a different number.)
 
  1. A personalized message will instruct the caller to press the numbers necessary to send the message to the recipient, i.e. “This is the prayer pager for John Smith. Please enter 733 to send the message that you are praying fro him.”
  2. A Prayer Pager Committee member delivers the pagers and periodically checks on the individuals who have them.
  3. The recipient determines when they are ready to return the pager and a committee member will pick it up. It is then available for distribution to someone else.
  4. The recipient name and pager number are printed in the church newsletter, worship bulletin, and prayer sheet.
We hope that this will help you start a Prayer Pager Ministry in your church!
