What is the Global Prayer Network?

First of all P2P is a personal tool for aiding your prayer life -- a virtual prayer journal for storing requests, scripture, written prayers, praises, etc. Secondly it is for sharing requests with other users, people you add to your "Friends" list, or with groups of users, what we're calling "Communities,” and for finding and praying for requests other users have shared.

Can I use the system for journaling, adding praises, written prayers, etc.

Sure! Just add a new request and use the description box for your text. We just called it “New Request” because that is the most common thing people will use it for, but it can be anything you want it to be.

My request is personal, do I have to share it?

No, by default a request is not shared when you create it. It will only be seen by others if you turn sharing on.

How do I update my request or add a praise?

You don’t have to edit the description. Just add a comment to your request. It will be timestamped so you can remember when it was updated.

When I create a request and choose “Yes, but only with those I choose,” there aren’t any friends or communities listed. How do I add them?

If you know a friend username or the community name, you can add it in Settings > Friends or Settings > Communities. If you need to look them up, use the Connect section.

How do I edit my request?

You can click the edit icon (paper and pencil) beside the request, or if you are viewing the request just click the edit link at the top.

How do I delete a request?

Click a request to view it, then click the delete link at the top of the page.

Should I archive or delete old requests?

Archive. One of the main reasons we created People2Pray is so you can remember how God has worked in your life. Archived requests are available in the (you-guessed-it!) Archive section.

How do I archive a request?

Click a request to view it, then click the archive link at the top of the page.

If I add someone to my friend list, am I added to his or her list?

No. But let’s say you add johndoe to your friends and you share a request with him. Even if you aren’t on his list, he will see a message on his friends page letting him know someone is sharing a request with him.

Where do I find a list of publicly shared requests?

You can browse public requests by clicking Connect and chosing “Requests” at the top. You can view a list of recently added requests, or you can browse by tag.

How do I remove a friend or community from my list?

Click “edit friends” or “edit communities” found at the top of each of those sections. You can also get there by going to in Settings > Friends or Settings > Communities. Click the X beside the friend or community you would like to remove.

How do I flag/unflag a request?

Just click the gray flag to make a request flagged, click it again to unflag.

Why would I flag a request?

Let’s say you find a public request that you want to pray for, but you may not know the person well enough to put him or her on your friend list. Flag it for easy reference later and to see future comments on it in your recent activity. Or you may have a large list of personal requests and want to flag the really important ones.

How can I make it easier for people to find me?

Set up your profile by clicking Settings/Profile. Add tags like “mother knitter dallas reading”. Put your name in, your location (ex: Lynchburg, VA).
