The Prayer Project

  • 24/7 Online Prayer line: We offer a 24/7 online prayer line through WhatsApp for women to connect for prayers, led by Pastor Jacqueline.
  • Daily Zoom Meetings: Daily Zoom prayer meetings (9 PM–10 PM EST) where women from around the world come together to pray, share, and support one another.
  • House of Prayer Initiative: Our project through which women are trained as WAFD coordinators who then setup home churches called House of Prayer for women and their families. This home church serves as a safe space for these women to commune and learn more about the word of God. Currently there are 5 House of Prayer led by WAFD coordinators across the country and 2 House of Prayers in India. WAFD also has initiated Sunday schools and youth meetings in these Houses of Prayer
