ABOUT PRAYER STATIONS
Prayer StationsTM comes into existence
Prayer Stations started out as a vision God gave to Nick Savoca in the early 90’s, and since then almost a thousand Prayer Stations have been sent out across the globe.
During preparations for the annual New Year’s Eve Outreach, Nick and his team were praying, asking the Lord what He would have them do as an evangelism strategy for their upcoming outreach in New York City.
In answer to their prayer, God very clearly said, “Pray for people on the street”.
“God gave us the strategy for creating and setting up a Prayer Station to invite people to stop and receive prayer for their felt needs”, says Nick. “From the first day, people warmly responded and many were ready to receive prayer and subsequently open their hearts to the message of the gospel. This new Prayer Station strategy has proved itself to be one of the most effective, powerful and disarming street evangelism methods we have ever seen!”
WHAT IS A PRAYER STATION?
A Prayer Station consists of a table and tall red banner with the words PRAYER STATION emblazoned on it. That, combined with the aprons the Prayer Station workers wear make for a formidable spiritual force that can be used anywhere in the world. The full Prayer Station package comes with a training kit that you can use to train the people that are interested in taking part in the Prayer Station ministry.
SOME STATISTICS
Prayer Stations are being purchased and used all over the world. We have the PRAYER STATION banner in 11 languages. Almost a thousand Prayer Stations have been sold since 1992. There are Prayer Stations on almost every continent in the world. Literally tens of thousands of people have participated in the Prayer Station ministry, which has resulted in thousands of lives coming to Christ.
TESTIMONIES
Bill K.
I have had my Prayer Station for quite a few years now, and still use it to this day! I have had fathers come up to ask me to pray for their wives who are mean to the kids, parents who have had kids killed to gang violence, etc.
People see it and flock to it because they know who we are praying to.
A wonderful tool!

We minister every Tuesday evening. People often approach us for prayer and we have become recognized by our Prayer Station.
We have people sitting in church, baptized and attending regularly from this amazing evangelism tool.
Detroit
Our Prayer Station gets used in inner city Detroit on random street corners and response has been amazing. We also set up a Prayer Station each Christmas season in the town square of an affluent suburban town during the annual Santa parade.
We have opportunities to pray with children and families, for sick family members, and also connect with persons of other faiths ….. they request prayer!

A haggard-looking man walked up to us and asked if we would pray for him. He looked like an alcoholic who’d lived a tough life. We prayed a simple prayer over him, and when it ended he looked at us and said “I haven’t had a prayer like that prayed over me in 30 years.” You could tell he was pretty excited.
Later in the day he brought his young son Andrew over, who was around 13 years old, and asked “can you pray for Andrew too?” I could tell Andrew wasn’t really into it but his dad was insisting that we pray for him, so we prayed for Andrew also.
Later in the day there was a drawing for three different bicycles and I noticed after a few minutes that Andrew was one of the winners!
I was walking from the stage area back to the Prayer Station and as I looked over to the side I saw the dad and Andrew standing by the bicycle he had just won. The dad beckoned me to come over, and as I did I could hear the dad saying to Andrew “See what happens when people pray!” and he was just so excited. That was pretty cool!

We use Prayer Stations several times a year at local festivals in our county. After a small county fair last summer we had at least three families & individuals visit our church and two have continued with us and become a part of our fellowship.
Prayer Stations are great!

Prayer Stations have had a profound impact on reaching those who would not normally walk into a church. Using this tool has helped countless people in Yonkers, which is New York’s fourth largest city. We have prayed for the brokenhearted, helped those who were feeling crushed by sin and led many people to the Lord!
Anneville, PA
It was 10 minutes to 5, and our Prayer Station session was going to end at 5pm. I was walking back toward the Prayer Station and as I got within a couple blocks, I saw a car pull over in right front of our Prayer Station which was being my manned by people from Youth With a Mission. A woman and a boy got out and I could see them talking to our people.
When I got back to the Prayer Station they were excited, and proceeded to tell me what happened. The lady had been driving down the road talking to her son about her getting a new job and she was saying that she hadn’t got a new job yet, and that maybe they needed to pray about it some more.
Just at that moment they happened to be driving past our Prayer Station, and right on cue the young boy said to his mother, “Hey! There’s a Prayer Station right there! Let’s pray now!” So she parked in front of the Prayer Station and they got right out. There on the spot our crew was able to pray for the lady to get a job.
Endorsement
An Endorsement from Colin Millar – Igniting Prayer Action
“I have been teaching about experiencing the intimacy and joy of sharing Jesus through prayer over the last 20 years. As I have prayed one on one for literally thousands of people all over the world, I have had the joy and privilege to witness hundreds of people come to salvation, be healed, encouraged, challenged to great intimacy with Christ or just simply experience the presence of our wonderful Lord and Savior through prayer.”
“It is for these reasons that I absolutely believe and strongly support PRAYER STATIONS.”
“It’s what I call “PRAY NOW Evangelism” and is the absolute best platform to see God bring transformation under His power to one life at a time. I have served at Prayer Stations in New York, Houston and South Africa and find the experience to be one like being in GOD’S MICROWAVE OVEN of spiritual growth.”
