Church Prayer: A Place for Needs, Healing, and Hope

Prayer should never get lost in a clipboard or forgotten in a hallway. When people ask for prayer, they’re trusting your church to care. SWAPP makes sure no request slips through the cracks — and every prayer gets the response it deserves.

Why Churches Struggle to Track Prayer Needs

Most prayer requests come in fast — a Sunday morning conversation, a text during the week, or a comment during service. Without a system, they’re easy to forget or lose. Over time, people stop asking… and start feeling unseen.

That’s where digital prayer tools come in. They give structure to spiritual care and let you respond quickly, personally, and consistently.

Tools to Support a Church That Prays

1. Prayer Request Forms

Use Prayer Requests to capture needs online or in person. Team members can view and pray in real time — even assign follow-up.

2. Pastoral Follow-Up

Connect with those hurting by using Follow-Up Tools. Assign visits, calls, or care touchpoints directly from the app.

3. Confidential Care Flow

Not every request should go to the whole team. SWAPP lets you mark private requests and route them to pastors or trusted leaders only.

4. Team Prayer Tracking

Track which needs have been prayed over, contacted, or need a follow-up — without relying on memory or scattered notes.

People Don’t Need a Database. They Need to Know You Care.

Prayer is one of the most sacred parts of ministry. Let’s make sure no one feels ignored or forgotten. With SWAPP, your church can turn prayer requests into real moments of care, healing, and hope.
