In the midst of serving clients and carrying out the day-to-day work of a Pregnancy Help Organization, prayer can easily be pushed aside. Yet taking time to pray with staff and volunteers is one of the most powerful ways to strengthen your team and your ministry.
Prayer isn’t just a spiritual habit; it must be our priority. When we take time to pray, we set the tone for a Christ-centered culture, reminding everyone that this mission doesn’t rest on human strength but on God’s guidance and provision. Moments of prayer create unity, encourage weary hearts, and build trust among staff and volunteers, a reminder that our work is a calling, not just a task.
Each month, we will share a prayer prompt and a prayer for you to use with your team. Post it in your center’s prayer closet, pray through it together, and invite God to lead your ministry through every conversation and decision.
Standing with You in Prayer: A meaningful affiliate benefit
At Heartbeat, we’ve always made prayer for our affiliates a priority, but we want to go even further. We are intentionally lifting up you and your ministry in prayer each day—and we warmly invite you to share your needs with us.
Whenever you feel led or face a challenge, reach out and use the prayer board. Know that every request will be personally prayed over by our Heartbeat staff, with care and consistency. We want you to feel the support of our prayers as you carry out the important work God has entrusted to your team.
This is more than a benefit—it’s a partnership. Standing together in prayer, we can invite God’s guidance, strength, and peace into every conversation, decision, and moment of your ministry.
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." – Matthew 18:20
