BlackBerry Feature List

PrayerSteward (aka Promise2Pray) is technology meeting spirituality. With it, you can easily log prayer commitments as you encounter them, sending a message to your family member, friend, or co-worker that they can have confidence in your commitment to pray for their need.  

PrayerSteward is available for any Blackberry device running OS 4.2 or greater.

• Standard interface allows for quick adoption by the novice or experienced Blackberry user.
• See an inspirational Bible verse about prayer each time you activate PrayerSteward. You can choose to copy the verse to the clipboard for use in commitment text and notes, or choose to email the verse out to friends.
• Prayer commitments are easy to enter with only the category and text of the prayer required. An entered commitment is immediately available and set to ongoing.
• Mark individual prayer commitments as confidential by supplying a 4 digit password. The prayer commitment will show as Confidential in the list.
• Prayer categories are totally customizable. Use the 5 default categories that come out of the box (Departed, Healing, Intercession, Petition and Thanksgiving) or change them to meet your individual praying habits. As an example, a church elder may add a category for Elder Responsibilities.
• Set the prayer category entered most often as the default and its one less item you need to specify when entering a prayer commitment.
• Add extra details, such as attaching a contact from your address book, specifying dates to pray and/or adding additional notes that might be helpful when recalling a commitment. Go back and edit notes when needed or delete notes that are not relevant any more.
• Page through prayer commitment details using the menu or shortcut keys ("N" for next, "P" for previous)
• See a contact's picture in the details of prayer commitments.
• When its time to pray just tap the Promise2Pray^TM icon to recall a list of all of your active prayer commitments.
• When viewing prayer commitments list by prayer categories, easily collapse and expand prayer categories making it easy to focus and navigate the list.
• Use the Preferences menu option to configure PrayerSteward to display your commitment list to best help you keep your Promise2Pray. This gives you a more personal approach to your prayer commitments.
• Additionally, arrange prayer categories easily using the menu or keyboard shortcuts to better organize your prayer list.
• Log future prayer commitments now when it’s fresh in your mind and they will automatically display in your active commitment list when it’s time to pray for that commitment.
• PrayerSteward makes it easy to recall your prayer commitments on your Blackberry as part of your normal prayer routine so you’ll never again forget to pray for something or someone for whom you have promised.
• Share non-confidential commitments with others, such as your church prayer chain, prayer group or prayer circle. What an awesome way to multiply the power of prayer.
• It’s just as important, if not more; to thank God for the blessings he provides each and every day. But, with the hustle and bustle of our society, these too can get lost in the shuffle. Log them into PrayerSteward and remind yourself to thank God for that wonderful blessing.
• Use the Archive Now function to quickly move an active commitment to the archived list.
• Additional features provided in the Utilities tab include:
  • View list of future commitments
  • View list of archived commitments (these are commitments where the end date of the prayer timeframe has passed)
  • Export all or a subset of your prayer commitments in a delimited text file via email or saved to the device's file system. Prayer categories are exported along with the prayer commitments allowing for full backup and restore.
  • Import prayer commitments and categories from previously saved exports. Have PrayerSteward on the iPhone? Export from the iPhone and import into the Blackberry.
  • Delete batches of archived commitments based on the end date of the commitments allowing for fast clean up of the PrayerSteward database.
