I was introduced to the Lord when I was 17 years old. I wasn�t very interested in religion at first, and couldn't be bothered to find out what it all meant. And then, thanks to 'Join My Prayers' I came to prayer to receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit. I remember praying that I would find a way out of my wilderness - and that was when my life began to dramatically change.
To this day, I believe that the prayerful support of all your other members has helped me find God and find myself. I shall, I hope, be eternally grateful!
John, Nova Scotia

WHAT'S INSIDE THE "Join My Prayers" MEMBERS' AREA?
What we've tried to achieve at Join My Prayers, is an online environment where Christians can make contact with fellow Christians and where believers can actively help other people by beseeching God to grant their prayers.
So we've developed something akin to a Facebook environment, but totally focused on our Christian "niche".
At Join My Prayers you get...

You can search the member list in many different ways. As you do so, you will discover
fellow pilgrims with similar wishes to yours who you may want to invite as a prayer companion (a little like 'friends' in Facebook).

SHOW YOUR PHOTOS
Pictures have the capacity to stir the heart and we recognise that many people would love to share that inspiration with others.
We enable all members to display up to ten photos in their personal profile and, to ensure that the image sharing continues, archive older pictures into what we hope will eventually become the internet's largest spiritual image library.

Sharing links with others helps us all reach a better place.

LIGHT A CANDLE
Candles as Christian symbols represent the light of God or the light of Jesus Christ. Candles are used in processions, at the altar and are lit as a sign of remembrance or to accompany prayer.
Members can light a candle of thanks or in remembrance or simply to begin or end
the day by the sacred ritual of lighting a candle on this website.

DEAR MARIE...
Marie is our resident counsellor. As well as being hugely experienced in counselling, she is a medical doctor with many years experience. Members can pose their questions (in total anonymity) and Marie will do her best to respond in her column.
Though Marie will answer questions expressing her opinion, we understand that other people may hold different views, so we encourage comments from other members of
our Christian fellowship.
