As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, a new digital initiative aims to unite millions of Americans in prayer. Freedom 250, the organization leading the celebration of 250 years of American Independence, has partnered with PRAY.COM to launch AmericaPrays.com, a central online hub for collective prayer. The platform offers a prayer wall, historic prayer content from the National Archives, and resources for forming local prayer groups and sharing answered prayers.
The initiative, called America Prays, brings together more than 140 faith organizations with a combined reach exceeding 1.2 billion people. PRAY.COM serves as the official technology provider for the White House America Prays 250 initiative, providing the digital platform at AmericaPrays.com. The partnership was announced on May 26, 2026, with President Trump inviting Americans to pray for the country as part of the Freedom 250 celebrations.
PRAY.COM, founded in 2016, has a mission to grow faith and cultivate community. The company serves as a trusted technology partner for thousands of churches and ministries, reaching millions through daily devotionals, pastoral content, and biblically-grounded resources. The platform is led by founders Steve Gatena, Michael Lynn, Ryan Beck, and Matthew Potter.
The AmericaPrays.com website is designed to be a central digital hub where Americans can come together in prayer during the nation's 250th birthday. The prayer wall allows users to submit and view prayers, while historic prayer content from the National Archives provides a connection to the country's spiritual heritage. Additionally, the site offers resources to help people form local prayer groups and share testimonies of answered prayers, encouraging ongoing participation in the movement.
This partnership between Freedom 250 and PRAY.COM represents a significant effort to leverage digital technology for spiritual unity on a national scale. By providing a platform that aggregates prayers from millions of Americans, the initiative aims to foster a sense of collective purpose and reflection during a milestone celebration. The involvement of over 140 faith organizations underscores the broad support for the initiative across different religious traditions.
The launch of AmericaPrays.com comes at a time when the nation is preparing for extensive festivities marking 250 years of independence. While the celebrations will include parades, concerts, and other public events, the America Prays initiative offers a digital space for individuals to participate in a more contemplative manner. The prayer wall and resources are intended to complement the broader Freedom 250 activities, providing a spiritual dimension to the anniversary.
For PRAY.COM, this partnership marks a milestone in its growth as a technology provider for faith-based initiatives. The company's role as the official technology provider for the White House initiative highlights its capacity to handle large-scale digital platforms. As millions of Americans are expected to engage with AmericaPrays.com, the platform will serve as a test of PRAY.COM's infrastructure and its ability to facilitate meaningful online community engagement.
