You may participate in A.R.E.'s Prayer Outreach in several ways. First is with the Glad Helpers prayer group here in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This group, dedicated to service through prayer, has been meeting continuously since Edgar Cayce started it in 1931. They study the material on prayer given in the readings, then meditate and pray together and offer the laying-on-of-hands for those who request it.

Come visit the group during their weekly meetings on Wednesdays from 9am to noon in the A.R.E. Visitors Center Meditation Room. The A.R.E. is located at 215 67th St. at the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Visitors are truly welcomed and enfolded in prayer.

Another way in which to participate is through the International Printed Prayer List. This is a monthly communication from the A.R.E. Prayer Services department, which includes the list of names of people who have requested prayer for healing. This is a cooperative activity; we ask that those who request prayer also agree to pray for themselves and for others who have requested prayer. The Glad Helpers Group prays for the individuals on this list as well; those who participate by praying for others in essence join with the Glad Helpers in this prayer network. If you are interested in making the commitment to participate in this way, please click on the link at the right for guidelines and a prayer request form.

The third way in which to participate in prayer is through the World Prayer Group. This is a worldwide internet-based group, which is non-denominational and inclusive of all religious faiths and beliefs. You may participate by posting a prayer request and/or signing up to pray for those requests that come through the site. A database of all the prayer requests in kept at the A.R.E. Requests are kept for a month, at which time they must be renewed if desired. Please click on the link to the World Prayer Group at the right to join in this Internet prayer activity.
