The Purpose for the PrayTimer® Edition Software and Outreach Bible Study

This software helps maximize and expand the believer's prayer life. It provides tools for individuals, prayer coordinators, and church staff to manage, print, and distribute personal, congregational or small group prayer requests.

• It provides customizable calendar options for prayer requests with daily, weekly, and monthly calendar views.

• These versatile computer templates help individuals and prayer coordinators manage and
  customize personal, congregational, national, and international prayer requests.

• Customizable lists of prayer requests can be printed for personal and corporate use by calendar dates, subject, reason, or source.

• Downloadable files are included to pray for specific national and international requests, as well as missionaries on their birthdays. Also included is a schedule of verses to read through the Bible in a year.

• A library page is available at www.praytimer.org/downloads to download other updated prayer lists.

• Import files for local prayer requests are easy to create and add to the prayer database.

• Export files can be created easily and distributed to church members or other people using the software.

• Requests can be exported from PrayTimer into the Microsoft Outlook Calendar program.

The PrayTimer Guidebook/Outreach Bible Study:
Presents six 90-minute sessions about prayer that can be used as an outreach Bible study. It also provides instructions to use the software. Session topics include following Christ in biblical prayer, spiritual warfare, and developing a prayer ministry. The popularity of prayer as well as the novelty of prayer software will interest believers and unbelievers. The first session is written
to introduce unbelievers (and remind believers) that the source and motivation for prayer flows from their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This comes through finding and developing a relationship with the Creator God through His only Son, Jesus, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. The outline from that chapter can be helpful to believers as they share Jesus with others.

• Helps identify, for believers and unbelievers, some differences between biblical prayer and prayer as it is presented in the contemporary culture.

• Briefly presents a biblical study of spiritual warfare as it relates to effective prayer. It alerts believers to some decoys used by Satan that confuse people and divert resources from the legitimate battle.

• Describes ways to help lead the church to become a house of prayer and help each believer to become a prayer warrior whether or not they use the software.

• Presents detailed instructions for the PrayTimer software.
