Welcome to the "The Prayer Room"

The Prayer Room has been designed as a meeting place for people who understand there is tremendous value in prayer. People can share their prayer needs and pray for others - whether across town or around the world. Our desire is to get more people praying regularly for the needs of others and to provide a place for those who need prayer to access "prayer warriors" quickly and easily. Through modern technology, it is possible to have tens, hundreds, or even thousands of people praying for you. Do you or someone you know need prayer? The Prayer Room is a place where you can share your prayer request with others who will pray for you or the people you love.

Please click this Prayer Requests link and send your prayer needs to us.  Please be as brief as possible (three to five lines maximum). The Lord knows the details. Also, please remember to observe others' privacy where appropriate. In order to keep this page current, most requests submitted will be posted on this page for up to 40 days. Please keep us up to date if prayer requests should be removed earlier. Prayer requests that were removed after the 40 days may be "resubmitted" for continued prayer. Please join with us as we lift these needs up to the all powerful God of this universe. Remember also to respond with your Praise Reports as we thank Him for His amazing grace and goodness.

Have a praise report? Whether it is a response to a Prayer Request submitted to the prayer room or you just need some People of Praise to join you in celebrating your personal praises to the Lord, click Here and submit your Praise Reports today.

May our Lord Jesus Christ be glorified in all that we do and may His blessings be on each person who makes prayer and praises part of everyday living. Feel free to e-mail a link to this page to anyone who might need prayer. If further follow up is needed, please let us know that also. 

Sincerely,

Pastor Dan Nelson

Just a note: We reserve the right to edit the content of a prayer request or not post it if there is a concern regarding the appropriateness of a request. We recommend that steps be taken to preserve privacy (such as the omission of a last name or sometimes specific medical information) unless you know for sure that it would be alright to share that information. Whenever possible and appropriate, we recommend you ask permission to add someone to the prayer list. There is rarely a better feeling when facing a situation than to be able to say with confidence that you are part of a prayer team that WILL pray. We should never use the Prayer Room to "promote" any particular church or ministry but to glorify our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as we desire to follow His example. The Prayer Room is an outreach ministry of Calvary Chapel Christian Church of the Ojai Valley to serve the larger "Body of Christ". If you have ideas how we can make this Prayer Room better for the Christian community, please do not hesitate to let us know by E-mailing us at ojai@calvarychapel.com. Thank you and may God bless you.
