America Prays

What America Prays does

America Prays is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that coordinates nationwide 24/7 prayer coverage across the United States by recruiting individual believers, churches, ministries, and businesses into monthly prayer commitments. Its core offering is not a product but a coordinated movement: individuals sign up for 30- or 60-minute monthly prayer slots, while churches, ministries, and Christian-owned businesses adopt a monthly half-day or full day of prayer, collectively producing city- and state-level prayer canopies. The stated vision is to unite 40,000 churches — defined as 10% of an addressable base of 400,000 US Christian churches — in prayer for a national spiritual awakening.

The underlying platform is lightweight and assembly-style: sign-up flows route through Monday.com embedded forms, donations are processed through Church Center, and recurring content is delivered via a WordPress website (americaprays.org) plus a prayer guide microsite (prayerguide.worldprays.org). There are no proprietary algorithms, mobile apps, or APIs; the "product" is essentially a coordination framework modeled on the 1727 Herrnhut Moravian prayer movement, adapted for a multiethnic, interdenominational US audience. International expansion is handled through a sister-organization, World Prays, founded by the same leadership team in Spring 2018.

The business model is donation-driven across four streams: one-time cash donations, recurring monthly giving, non-cash gifts (handled manually via email and phone), and cryptocurrency donations (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin). Distribution relies on a volunteer prayer champion network, direct engagement with senior pastors, and organic social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. With 1-10 paid employees, the organization operates a distributed, grassroots GTM motion in which most of the field force is unpaid, and revenue scale (no figures disclosed) is implied to remain modest relative to the 40,000-church aspiration.

Core offering

America Prays coordinates a 24/7, year-round national prayer movement in which churches, ministries, businesses, and individuals adopt specific time slots to pray for the United States. The organization runs the 40 Weeks of Prayer campaign, distributes a monthly prayer guide, and channels donations through Church Center and cryptocurrency rails. Participation is free, and the model is modeled on the 1727 Moravian prayer movement.

Product overview

America Prays operates as a unified prayer movement platform comprising the core America Prays program and its international sister initiative World Prays. The portfolio centers on a simple but scalable model where individual believers sign up to pray in 30-60 minute segments, while churches, ministries, and businesses adopt monthly days or half-days of prayer. Supporting resources include the 40 Weeks of Prayer guide and Monthly Prayer Guide, which provide structured thematic content to guide prayer efforts. The movement aims to create a continuous 24/7 prayer canopy across America by coordinating participating churches to cover different days, with World Prays extending this model globally.
