Pray the News Launches to Transform American Christians' Relationship with News
The Californer/10317800

WASHINGTON - Californer -- Pray the News (PtN), a non-partisan Christian service that transforms how believers engage with news by helping them pray it, announced its launch today. Christians of every denomination and no denomination, and from across the political spectrum, appreciate the service for keeping them informed of current events in the spirit of faith, hope, and love God calls them to.

"Praying the news is a unique spiritual workout," said Opal, PtN's founder. "People who do it regularly find that, after a few months, they don't just respond differently to news. They respond differently to everything in their lives, because they've 'trained' to turn everything over to God."

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do." —Proverbs 16:3

Core Service: PtNletters
Pray the News delivers PtNdaily six days a week and PtNdigest once a week, both online and via email. PtNletters contain five sections—US and world news, community intentions, stories of Christian persecution, and good news—each with a brief, strictly-the-facts summary of events followed by a Scripture-inspired prayer.
