What began as a prayer meeting over the phone when stormy weather kept a church group from gathering has turned into a vision for an international prayer ministry using the latest in telecommunications to join the prayerful to Christ.

Two years since that teleconferencing encounter the Pray Live prayer ministry has expanded to a system that is technically capable of handling hundreds of simultaneous calls. The number of participants has been increasing mostly through committed praying volunteers and now includes prayer leaders and pastors.

“There was someone who started calling the line every single day and now they’re one of the leaders,” said Wenda Royster, founder and president of Pray Live, a non-denominational prayer line. “It has grown, almost like an e-church. We’re even doing bible study and people are being connected through the line.” Story
