PrayerGates.com, an online social networking community to minister to women around the globe, has been launched by the B&H Publishing Group.
The name “PrayerGates” is drawn from the Acts 16:13 reference to the city gates where women of Macedonia gathered to pray.
“In biblical times the city gates were the gathering place of power,” said Andrea Dennis of the B&H division of LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention.
“Today, we are calling women to gather virtually to unleash the power of prayer in their lives, church, community and world.”
PrayerGates.com for 2009 will use Beth Moore’s bestselling “Praying God’s Word” to equip and encourage women. Weekly excerpts from the book will be posted on the site as discussion starters.
Personalized profiles, user-created prayer groups and multimedia resources also will be features of the online community. The site, which went online during the week of Sept. 20, will allow users to create prayer groups specifically for Beth Moore Bible studies and events and will provide a prayer community for individuals impacted by Beth Moore’s ministry. – BP
