Start a P4C Chapter in Your Area | Children’s Nonprofit Charity

Do you ever feel like many of our children are headed in the wrong direction?  Have you ever seen a child struggling and you just wanted to reach out and help them? Do you feel as though you want to make a difference in the world, but don’t know how? Well, maybe starting a Praying For Our Children (P4C) Chapter is perfect for you.

P4C’s dedication to children and family goes beyond our foundation of prayer and extends to service and action in our local communities, as well as around the world.  Praying for Our Children stays focused on our mission and offers programs specifically designed to promote strong & healthy families, support for parents, prayer services and mission trips that serve deprived communities in other countries.  

By starting your own local chapter, you can extend our charitable works and better the lives of children and families in your very own community.  It is the goal of Praying For Our Children to have a chapter in every community across the world. Each chapter will receive guided support and access to the Praying For Our Children community, as well as other resources to influence positive outcomes in the lives of children and families. If this sounds like something you may be interested in, it is simpler than you think to get a chapter going.  You can start by calling or emailing us for more information.  You may also fill out our convenient online registration form and take that first step to making your community and the world a better place.

Why Do Grassroots Nonprofits Struggle For Survival?


When I started Praying For Our Children, it was to establish a day of intercessory prayer for our children. This simple mission grew into an expanded organization that offers prayer groups, international mission trips, Camp P.R.A.Y. and support services. Though our mission is altruistic, financial support has been hard to come by, so I began to wonder why and explored this thought more.  

I thought about how quickly someone accused of crime, large corp. structured charities (with high paid CEOs), or causes attached to a famous face can raise thousands or even millions of dollars so quickly.  This lead me to reflect on the “true values” of the society in which we live. Unfortunately, the picture that started to become more and more clear wasn't a very pretty one. We live in a society dominated by a focus on fame, status, recognition and reward.  So when a small grassroots organization tries to amass support and funds, it becomes a serious uphill battle as we have no fame, status or reward to offer. We can only offer our humble gratitude and promise to use what is donated to better the lives of families and children.  

As a society plagued with violence, family breakdown and materialism, we must find our way back to the simpler things… love, family, service and prayer.  Our focus and consciousness must shift so we see the immense value of supporting those in need around us without any recognition or reward.. We are so grateful to those who have supported us through the years and those who will support us in the future, but simply want to bring light to the way so many small nonprofits struggle for mere survival (even though they shouldn’t have to).

The Benefits Of Camp P.R.A.Y.


Family serves as our core unit of connection, fulfillment and love in so many ways. When family bonds become strained, it can leave us feeling hurt, estranged and overwhelmed.  Restoring healthy family relationships is so important. A family that functions in harmony is paramount to every family member’s spiritual and emotional well being.  Camp P.R.A.Y. is all about family unity, cooperation and cohesion.

Camp P.R.A.Y. is a 7-day retreat for both parent and child that give them an opportunity to reconnect. During the camp, discussions are held to address family dynamics, improve communication and reestablish healthy parent-child relationships. As a part of the Camp P.R.A.Y. experience, fun outdoor activities are designed to both challenge and excite both parent and child.  We also include spiritual exercises, meditation, nature walks and financial fitness classes. Ultimately, the parent/child union is strengthened and family wholeness begins the restoration process. When you take this journey with us, a transformed life waits for you at the end of it.

Camp P.R.A.Y. is a unique combination of prayer camp, faith camp and family camp. We are now accepting applications for our upcoming camp July 14 – 21 at Cohutta Springs (http://cohuttasprings.com/). Click this link to learn more http://www.prayingforourchildren.org/camp_p_r_a_y_.html.
