First launched as an iOS app and now with the Share A Prayer Facebook Desktop App and the soon-to-be-released Spanish version, the Share A Prayer App Network is fast becoming a tool for sharing the faith, praying together and for another, and for evangelization. Given its uniqueness, versatility and obvious message, it is easy to see how it has become a digital and social media sensation.

The Share A Prayer Apps and tools offer multiple prayer categories, each containing a database of prayers, inspirational thoughts, bible verses and greetings to show friends and family that you are thinking about them. Categories include Thinking of You, Birthdays, Pet Sympathy, Sympathy, Get Well Soon, Birth, Wedding, Sacraments, and Congratulations with the expansion of additional prayer categories to coincide with religious holidays. The "one-touch" sharing of the App permits users to send or post a customized prayer, bible verse or message just by pressing the Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, email or text icon for whichever medium they desire - "Press & Pray!"
