How to pray together as a group with an app
Key #2: group prayer does not need another busy chat thread. Wave offers a dedicated space where requests stay visible, progress is tracked, and Jesus stays at the center.
In short: group prayer in Wave means creating a private movement for your family, friends, or small group. Requests, updates, and prayer times stay in one calm space instead of getting scattered across chat messages.
Start with a private group movement
Invite family, friends, or your small group into a private movement. Share subjects, pray asynchronously through the day, and gather for focused prayer times when you can.
Keep requests structured
Each subject carries the request, updates, and testimonies. Everyone knows what to pray for without scrolling endless messages.
Go deeper with prayer time
Wave's guided prayer session walks subject by subject so your group can focus without losing track.
Wave versus a WhatsApp group
A chat thread is built for conversation, so prayer requests end up buried under replies and reactions. Wave keeps each subject in its own place, with updates and testimonies attached, so nothing gets lost and no one has to scroll back through weeks of messages.
Invite people gently
You do not need a big group to start. Invite a few people you already pray with, keep the circle intentionally small, and let it grow naturally as trust builds.
