Intercessors For America

What Intercessors For America does

Intercessors for America (IFA) is a private 501(c)(3) Christian ministry founded in 1973 and headquartered in Purcellville, Virginia, that informs, connects, and mobilizes intercessors to pray for the United States and its government leaders. Its core product is a digital ministry platform (ifapray.org) that combines a news/blog site, email communications (The Informer three times weekly and the monthly First Friday Prayer Letter), SMS alerts, podcasts, YouTube video programming, and community features including a Prayer Wall, Prayer Map, state prayer groups, prayer calls/webcasts, and the Church Ambassadors Program. Resource offerings include devotionals (21 Days of Prayer for Israel, 40 Days of Prayer for Our Nation), prayer guides, special reports (e.g., Sharia vs. The Constitution, Iran), Capitol Connections guides, and books such as The One Year Pray for America Bible and Rededicate America, plus related sub-brands GetAmericaPraying.com and theamericanspiritualheritageproject.com.

The organization monetizes almost entirely through charitable contributions rather than commercial pricing. The primary revenue stream is the Monthly Ministry Partner (MMP) recurring donation program at $20 and $30 monthly tiers, supplemented by one-time "suggested donation" sales of books, guides, devotionals, bookmarks, and merchandise priced between $1 and $75, and direct/legacy giving channels including a 1-800 phone line, direct mail, and event registrations via external platforms such as brushfire.com. There is no app, no disclosed API, and no AI/ML components; the technology is a content and community publishing stack rather than a software product.
