The Prayer Pager Project launches its web site.
The Prayer Pager Project is a non-profit organization that seeks to aid patients with catastrophic illness in their healing by providing means of prayer. We give the patient a pager, at no cost to the patient, to have with them while in the hospital or even at home while recovering. When a family member, friend, or parishioner thinks of or prays for the patient, they then page the patient to let them know. As the pages come in, the patient knows there are others in the battle or their wellness; that the patient is not alone, giving them the strength to fight their disease and become well again. The payers have offered comfort to patients and their families alike.
It is our belief that the power of prayer works miracles in the healing process.For more information, request a pager, or make a donation, visit our new site at www.prayerpager.com..
