Our take
There are more Christians in the world than ever before, yet daily prayer is becoming less common due to a lack of attendance of young people at churches. Whilst remote church sessions on platforms such as Zoom provide digital alternatives for people who are unable to attend churches, these meetings still do not provide the digital experiences that are needed to engage young Christians.
Pray.com provides a mobile application for Christians to access daily prayer content, including daily prayers, scriptures, meditations, and bedtime stories. The company partners with Christian content creators, and ultimately aims to boost engagement amongst younger Christians as an alternative to in-person church visits.
Whilst church meetings on Zoom and other online forms of Christian content do exist, Pray.com has been smart to recognize the importance of this to young Christians, creating an all-in-one mobile application for engaging with their faith. In addition to partnering with content creators, the company also partners with employers to provide Pray.com subscriptions to employees to boost workplace engagement and wellbeing.
