Prayerline Ministry

United Christian Broadcasters reports that the current average number of phone calls per day to its ‘Prayerline’ ministry is in excess of 400, with many more than this on some days. The telephone lines are open between 9.00am and 10.00pm from Monday to Friday inclusive, and between 10.00am and 6.00pm each Saturday. Outside these hours (or while staffed by an operator) a caller can leave a voicemail prayer request. In addition to phone calls, other prayer requests arrive by e-mail and post.

The Prayerline service is not a counselling or advice service, but is wholeheartedly a prayer ministry, whose motto is ‘Praying with you, praying for you.’ Prayerline volunteers have noted that calls over the last two years have changed in nature and now often demand a lengthier time of listening and response in prayer. UCB Prayerline is currently staffed by 126 volunteers, each of whom commit two hours per week to the work from the comfort of their own home. Volunteers receive training and support from UCB Prayerline coordinators.
