WINGS Prayer Line Ministry
WINGS has a prayer line ministry which is open to everyone, (not just women). The power of prayer offered for those in need has brought about many miracles and given strength, peace and comfort to people in a time of crisis or need. It also brings many graces to those who pray.
Prayer Requests
To make a prayer request, call or e-mail the prayer line hosts: Angie Price at 503-635-1195, or Robin Hudson at 503-593-7735, or e-mail them at ourladypray4us@yahoo.com.
Anyone may request a prayer for themselves or someone else. To maintain the privacy of those we are praying for, we will not include the petitioner's full name unless it is requested. We can use a first name, or identify someone as, "man, woman, or child age __".
Join the Prayer Line
This ministry is open to anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of others. You don't have to attend any meetings or even leave home. A blanket e-mail will be sent to all on our list. For those who wish to join the prayer line, but have no e-mail, a phone tree will be set up. Your only commitment is to check your e-mail or make one or two phone calls and PRAY for the people listed.
