Badges & banners
Why do Christians stick fish signs to the rear windscreens of their cars? - and where did they stick them before cars were around?
The fish sign tells the person driving behind you, and the world around you, that God is important to people today!
The praying.it initiative offers badges and banners that make a similar statement on your website. Furthermore, they show that you understand the importance of prayer and the value of prayer in the web world.
The banners and badges look good and give a positive message but they're also highly functional: Visitors clicking on a badge or banner will be taken to a special version of the praying.it website which is personalised to include your title and links back to your site. Through your personalised praying.it pages you have the option of encouraging visitors to join a Prayer Group: You can email prayer requests and information to your Prayer Group . You will then benefit from the ongoing interest and prayers of your Prayer Partners.
Saint Mary's Church for example:
St. Mary's don't really need to make a statement about being Christian - that should be obvious without a fish badge! - what they do need to say is "we're not just an old church building!" - so they use one of the available praying.it banners. The colour and modern look of the banner transform the overall message of the site which now says "we're alive - we're active - and we're praying.it"

Welcome to St. Mary's Parish Church Website
First impressions are based on pictures, layouts and colour. What's written here is read within the context of that initial impression so make sure those first impressions are impressive! The praying.it banners and badges will help - try covering it up to see the difference!
| Now, try clicking on the banner to see what St. Mary's personalised praying.it site looks like.
| Notice the window title, the heading on the first page, the footer link on each of the main pages and the pre-filled Prayer Partner box on the take.part page.

Gathering your Prayer Partners
Prayer plays such an important part in shaping and growing your plans and projects to be in line with God's purposes - His will be done! - The praying.it badges and banners make it easy to convert your website visitors into Prayer Partners
When creating your personalised version of the praying.it site, you can choose to have Prayer Partner option boxes pre-filled with your reference so that visitors who choose to take part in the praying.it initiative are extremely likely to become your Prayer Partners, joining your prayer initiative!
So, badges & banners can provide a simple mechanism enabling your 'regulars' and interested 'visitors' to join in your email-based Prayer Group.
