The Story

Girlfriends Pray is one of the fastest growing ministries for women of faith:

Our ministry is designed to encourage, inspire, motivate and empower women through prayer. In less than 3 months, we grew from 39 women to several hundred praying together on a weekday morning teleconference call, and now are over 60,000 followers from more than 18 countries.

Our mission is to get more women closer to God through prayer, and the vision is 1 million women united around the world. We accomplish this through our daily prayer calls and other virtual and live initiatives to include:

Girlfriends Pray Breakfast Book Club, a weekly virtual topical book discussion; Girlfriends in the Word, quarterly Bible study; Girlfriends Pray Empower Study, a live discussion group; Girlfriends Pray Global, live prayer calls with women outside of the United States via Skype; Amigas Pray, a weekly prayer call for our Latina girlfriends in Christ; Girlfriends Pray Live, our on-site live events and activities; Girlfriends Pray Tweet Chat, a tweet discussion about topics concerning the women of God; and Girlfriends Pray Real Talk, addresses the mental health and well-being of women.

In less than 1 year, our Ministry received unbelievable favor that began with the launch of a national tour “Girlfriends Pray Big Hat,” followed by an NAACP Award for Faith-Based Community Outreach; hosted a press conference on Capitol Hill with Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and Pediatric HIV/AIDS Care, Inc.; given an on-going television segment with ABC WMAR Channel “Grace and Glory”; a partnership with the Carmelo Anthony Foundation; an invitation to participate in one of the largest foreign missions initiatives with other ministers and gospel artists in collaboration with Praise Fest Ministries and nominated for White House Council Team on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. We have been blessed to be included as a partner in First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” health initiative.
