Pray! magazine announces that the Pray! Network, an online community devoted to prayer (www.praynetwork.org), has a record-setting 1,648 registered participants. The site went live the first week in April.

“The Pray! Network is a state-of-the-art ministry networking site that brings a diverse group of people together for the common purpose of deepening their relationship with God through prayer,” says site moderator Phil Miglioratti.

Participants interact through forums and blogs, inform and invite one another to events, and connect through affinity groups, such as Prayer @ NBC and Japan: Sanbi, Inori. They also communicate with photos and video clips that can be used in personal and corporate prayer settings and offer practical applications and resources related to prayer. Site members include pastors, prayer leaders, intercessors, and church members who are interested in prayer.

“We’re very happy with the rapid growth of the Pray! Network and the interest being demonstrated in prayer,” says NavPress President Mike Miller. “Our hope is that people worldwide will share insights and resources, make new friendships, and encourage one another in prayer.”

What is the biggest technology-related challenge for Christians today?

We live in two worlds simultaneously. We live in the virtual world, where many of us maintain relationships and do business. Most Americans are touched by the virtual world to some degree. But we also live in the physical world. The reality of blending the two worlds—which often clash—is probably the most significant issue regarding technology and the Christian faith. It's not the platforms, it's not the tools—it's the reality of two different worlds. Sometimes we give priority to one over the other. That's the big trade-off. And that is the biggest technology-related challenge for Christians in the 21st century.
