Praying in the chat room is a real privilege and we want to maximize ministry opportunities as they arise. Our first goal in chat is to share the gospel with as many people as possible. So how do we do this if a person shares a need and then asks for prayer?

First ask them the question, "Where are you in your spiritual journey right now?" or " How do you think God fits in your situation?" or "Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?"

These kinds of questions open the door to share Christ with the person who is struggling. Once they are given the message of salvation, ask them if they would like to pray a simple prayer to invite Christ into their lives. If they decide to begin a life with Jesus, walk them through the prayer of salvation, thank the Lord and then pray for their need. If they respond with hesitancy then still pray for their spiritual journey as well as the challenge that they are facing.

What a great opportunity to minister to those who are hurting. give them hope, share salvation through Jesus and then pray with them. It can all happen within minutes in the chat room!
