St Andrews Baptist Church in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, has just launched a new prayer service for people in need of extra help.

It is inviting people to email in their prayer requests, which will then be prayed for during the church's prayer meetings.

The requests, which can be made anonymously, will also be emailed out to all Prayer Network partners.

The emails will not be replied to unless specifically requested by the sender.

Ian Pearce, of St Andrews Baptist Church, said: "The aim is that we have an army of prayer partners and that people who would not normally ask, have an easy anonymous way to request prayer."

The Prayer Network is also planning to set up a mobile phone number so people can leave voice and text messages.

Send prayer requests or email to join the Prayer Network by emailing pray4@hotmail.co.uk

If you would like to become a partner of the Prayer Network, send an email quoting "Partner" in the subject.
