The Prayer web site provides resources for individuals
and congregations seeking to expand their prayer life; through scripture, art, and music, the user is invited to
take time for prayer.
This web site was developed in response to the Call to
Prayer issued in the ELCA Evangelism Strategy “Sharing Faith
in a New Century: A Vision for Evangelism in the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America” adopted at the 2003 Churchwide
Assembly.
The goal identified in the first objective in the strategy
is to “activate and mobilize this church to pray for renewal
that is grounded in the Word.”
