United Methodist Men and the Upper Room Prayer Ministry have enjoyed a long relationship. Many United Methodist Men units have had remote prayer center groups and have been at Purdue University many times.

The Upper Room Living Prayer Center was started in April 1977. In the first month alone, five volunteers answered 300 prayer requests! Today, 5,000 volunteers across the United States are scheduled to answer three toll-free telephone lines 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and prayer for over 36,000 prayer requests a month.

The Upper Room provides two-thirds of the budget for the prayer ministry.

The United Methodist Men, 265,000 strong, provide the remaining third in addition to prayer and spiritual support.

This ministry could not exist without the UMM support. In addition to the local volunteers, we encourage groups to answer the prayer line and share in the modes cost of transferring the calls to remote sites where volunteers answer the prayer line in the safety and convenience of their environment.

These groups, after training (usually by their Conference Prayer Advocate), answer the prayer line. The groups could be United Methodist Men on a retreat, United Methodist Women at a district conference, an annual conference or Prayer and Bible Conference at Lake Junaluska NC.

We also charter groups who covenant with us and agree to intercede for requests that we send them. Our goal is to pray thirty days for each prayer request that we receive. We have chartered over 384 Covenant Prayer Groups in 48 states and 3 countries. In April 1998, we celebrated our 21st anniversary. We applaud dedicated volunteers, the financial support of the United Methodist Men, the solid support and encouragement of The Upper Room and the General Board of Discipleship. Since its inception, the Upper Room Prayer Center has prayed for over 1.7 million individuals by more than 384 Covenant Prayer Groups around the world.

UMM makes it possible for the prayer center to operate on a 24-hour basis with caring personnel. The Prayer Ministry Endowment is over $100,000 through the UMM Foundation. It is the dream of UMM to put sufficient funds in the endowment to pay for the entire prayer ministry.
