About Your Prayer Team
Your Prayer Team is a vibrant outreach endeavor for the Radio and Training Network, enlisting community-driven radio stations stretching across the United States, including renowned names like HIS radio, The Joy FM, WAFJ, The Wind, and KWFC. Our toll-free, 24/7 prayer hotline establishes connections with communities throughout the nation.
With a dedicated volunteer corps of hundreds of prayer ministers ready to answer calls at any hour, we are committed to aiding those seeking hope. Through our network, we offer a welcoming and empathetic platform for sharing the limitless love of Jesus.
Our Purpose
Our Purpose is to furnish individuals across all communities with a toll-free telephone line through which they can access prayer services. Additionally, we aim to provide them with referral numbers to empathetic crisis organizations that address the mental, spiritual, and physical requirements of the local populace.
Our Objective
We aim to create a prayer and crisis referral network that provides authentic hope for individuals looking to connect through prayer with another person, those who are experiencing pain or carrying heavy burdens. We intend to provide an avenue for sharing the unwavering love, mercy and hope that emanates from Jesus Christ, the only divine source, with the firm belief that transformative life events can occur through the power of prayer. Furthermore, we extend a compassionate gesture by offering recommendations to relevant organizations and churches capable of addressing the psychological and physical needs of those who reach out to us.
Our Strategy
Incoming calls are seamlessly routed to our committed volunteers, each of whom undertakes a minimum two-hour weekly shift. This approach ensures both callers and volunteers enjoy the protection of anonymity, thereby alleviating any apprehension as individuals seek comfort and support from God through prayer and our crisis referral services.
The Results
Empathy and compassion are at the heart of our principles, guiding a greater faith in Jesus Christ. We embrace grace and graciousness as fundamental virtues, fostering an environment where we put our callers first. We endeavor to create a foundation of hope in Jesus through an unwavering commitment to listening and praying a scriptural prayer. Our dedication to service is to reflect Christ in all we do.
Our Vision Statement
We have been entrusted with a visionary calling to extend the divine love and compassion of the Creator across our nation, systematically from one community to another. This endeavor involves imparting an unceasing message of hope, accessible at all hours and every day of the week, through a comprehensive phone-based crisis hotline. This multifaceted platform encompasses fervent prayer and recommendations to congregations, ministries, and organizations rooted in compassion, all uniquely equipped to address our valued callers' spiritual and tangible requirements.
Statement of Faith
The Bible to be inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
That there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
In the deity of Christ; in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; His vicarious and atoning death through the shed blood, in his bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
That for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
In the spiritual unity of believers in Christ. In the Biblical understanding of marriage, the family, and human sexuality. In the sanctity and dignity of human life from conception to natural death.
In a Biblical world view that requires all activities of this organization, and all resources of this organization – including but not limited to all broadcasts, publications, directories, databases, announcements, web sites, facilities, etc. – be used, in furtherance of and/or consistent with this Biblical world view and the Christian mission that it commands.
About our Director & Founders:
Linda and Rev. David Morrison
Linda and Dave, licensed minister, has led impactful Bible studies within their church and have been instrumental in training dedicated Prayer Ministry Teams. Through their commitment to prayer ministry training, they discerned a prevalent desire among many individuals to engage in prayer and a lack of knowledge about the art of prayer.
In response to this realization, Linda and Dave began their toll-free prayer line in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1997. Their efforts resonated across Pennsylvania and the broader Northeast region. Their vision expanded beyond the prayer line, leading to a comprehensive prayer and crisis referral network. This network has effectively facilitated the seamless coordination of faith-based compassion ministries, organizations, churches, and businesses.
Their outstanding contributions have earned them national recognition as esteemed prayer leaders, acknowledged by none other than the National Prayer Leaders, and are now members. Their sphere of influence extends to impactful collaborations with notable entities such as Somebody Cares America and many Christian denominations, among other esteemed ministries.
As integral members of the RTN family; Linda and David are brimming with enthusiasm as they witness the exponential growth of the Prayer Line to a national and international relevant ministry. Their unwavering dedication continues to inspire, fostering a profound impact within prayer and compassion-based industries.
Your Prayer Team is part of the family of ministries incorporated under the Radio Training Network (RTN). It is operated to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our listening area and beyond.
