PrayerPop helps churches collect prayer requests from their website, review them in WordPress, and notify the right people.

== Description ==

[PrayerPop](https://prayerpop.eu/) is a simple prayer submission workflow for WordPress churches, ministries, and Christian organizations. It helps you collect prayer requests, review them, and send notifications from WordPress. With PrayerPop Pro, churches can also receive testimonies and run flexible [Prayer Campaigns](https://prayerpop.eu/prayer-campaigns/) with prayer slots for things like 24h prayer, camps, Sundays, events, or focused prayer seasons.

Instead of asking people to find an email address, fill out a long form, or send prayer requests through scattered messages, PrayerPop gives your website one clear place for prayer. Visitors can submit a request from any page, and your team can review, approve, archive, email, and manage everything inside WordPress.

[PrayerPop](https://prayerpop.eu/) is useful when you want to:

* Receive prayer requests through your church website
* Organize incoming submissions in one admin screen
* Review requests before your team acts on them
* Send prayer requests by email
* Get immediate, daily, or weekly notification summaries
* Connect visitors to a simple prayer submission workflow
* Customize the wording, colors, bubble style, and form behavior
* Reduce spam with honeypot, minimum time, rate limit, and cooldown protection
* Keep prayer request management inside WordPress

= What PrayerPop makes simpler =

Prayer requests often arrive through email, social messages, paper cards, and conversations with different team members. [PrayerPop](https://prayerpop.eu/) brings those requests into one clear workflow. Your website becomes the entry point, and WordPress becomes the place where your team can manage what happens next.

The free plugin focuses on the core prayer request workflow: collect prayer requests, review them, and send notifications.
