Helping children and adults develop a lifestyle of prayer.In 2013, Jerry Kirk founded The Prayer Covenant. It all began in the summer of 1967 while riding in a car with Don Reyberg, a Pittsburgh business leader who asked Jerry to enter into a 30-day prayer covenant with him. He asked Jerry if he was willing to ask Jesus to be the Lord of his life every day for himself and for Don. He said, "Yes!" and so began his prayer covenant journey.Jerry has been in over 9,000 prayer covenants. His own life has been profoundly changed and formed by prayers of those people praying for him.In 2010, Candy & Vik Marballi heard Jerry speak on the Lordship of Christ at their church. He invited the congregation to enter into a prayer covenant with him. "I will pray for you by name if you do the same for me." Over 500 persons entered into a prayer covenant with Jerry that day. Candy included the prayer in her time with Jesus every day. She and her husband experienced the power of praying Christ-centered prayers. Three years later, in 2013, while asking God to show her what He wanted her to teach the upcoming children's choir/Sunday School class, he gave her a vision of a prayer covenant card for children. She called Jerry and asked if we could put the prayer into simple language that would speak to the hearts of children. He said, "assemble a team of educators that will work with my team and let's see what God does."Candy shares, "Six months later we had a prayer card. Then I was asked to write The Prayer Covenant for Children with Stephen Eyre that would take parents, pastors and teachers through the prayer covenant themes."God took this simple prayer tool from being an English-only, adult-only, U.S.A. only prayer to a global ministry. In 2020, the Prayer Covenant is in 69 nations worldwide with over 7 million children discipled. The children's resources are translated into 25 major languages.
