Prayer Board System - Visual tracking of prayer requests & answers in Lifegroup
Purpose: The prayer board is a visual tool used in Lifegroups to track prayer requests and God's responses over time. Few things build up the bonds of love and faith in a group like seeing God answer prayer together.
Big Idea:
Set up a physical or digital board where prayer requests are documented
Record specific prayer needs shared by group members
Track answers to prayers as they occur
Maintain ongoing prayer journals to compile requests and responses
Key Components:
Request tracking - Write down specific needs shared during group meetings
Answer documentation - Record how God responds to prayers over time
Weekly focus - Encourage members to pray for recorded requests throughout the week
Group participation - Have each person share prayer needs (limited to 3 minutes per person)
Best Practices:
Assign one person to write down prayer items during meetings
Keep prayers focused and specific rather than general
Encourage ongoing prayer for recorded requests between meetings
Use the board to build faith by seeing God's answers over time
