The southern baptist convention has found a new way to use Facebook to help in the prayer lives of their members.
Prayer leaders across Southern Baptist life have a new opportunity to connect through “Pray SBC.”
Launched March 18, Pray SBC is a Facebook group for members to share expertise, ask questions and offer ideas to “foster a culture of Kingdom-focused prayer toward revival and spiritual awakening.”
Ronda Davenport, prayer ministry coordinator at First Baptist Church in Woodstock, Ga., and a Pray SBC administrator told the Baptist Press, “The idea for Pray SBC came about as members of SBC and PrayerLink leadership discussed the amazing platform social media provides for mobilizing prayer. We want to make ideas, resources and personal connections with other prayer leaders available in a Facebook community because it is an easy and effective avenue to reach many who influence prayer.”
Some of the topics already shared include the upcoming National Day of Prayer; resources available through “In All Things Pray,” an SBC prayer resource; prayer movements that are springing up around the country; and recommended books about prayer.
Those interested in taking part need to identify themselves and the church they represent and enter their church’s seven-digit SBC ID number. They can then ask questions, share ideas and dive into discussions.
