Conference prayer advocates gather at the Discipleship Ministries building in Nashville, home of the Upper Room.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.––In 2014, the Upper Room Living Prayer Center received 273,580 prayer requests. Many of those requests were received and answered by UM Men organizations.

For the third year in a row, Alabama West Florida Annual Conference was the top contributor with gifts totaling $3,215.

“I can think of no better organization to team with than UM Men,” said Migdiel Perez, manager of the Nashville-based prayer center. “Our Living Prayer Center is successful because you have been an important part of it.”

In 2014, UM Men contributed $20,980, an amount that enabled the ministry to respond to 2,400 prayer requests by e-mail; 39,593 requests at the website and 231,287 by phone.

Perez says the center introduced a prayer wall on its website, a site that enables people to post prayers and post responses.
