Dial 452-PRAY -- A Local All-Volunteer Organization
Did you know that Dial 452-PRAY had its beginning right here in Sheboygan? Thirty-one years ago, a group of dedicated lay persons felt that our community needed a Christ-Centered message which would be easily accessed via the ministry; and since all work is done by volunteers, there is a place for anyone who wants to help. Just call Audrey Braatz to talk about what you might like to do. Alternatively, you can write us for more information at:

Message Recording -- A Very Rewarding Experience
Recording the message heard on the telephone has proved to be as much a blessing to those who prepare the messages as to those who call in to hear them. One veteran message-recorder describes how it's done:
- Start by researching material you have on hand. (Additional material is found in a kit provided by Dial 452-PRAY).
- Arrange material into 2-minute devotions.
- Practice reading each devotion, and time it so that the listener hears as much of God's Word as possible.
- Familiarize yourself with the digital recorder provided.
- Record your series of messages and turn them in.
For more information on message-recording, call Debra Kelm or contact us via our Online Contact Form.
Voluntary Donations -- Our Only Income Source
Did you know that it costs at least $125.00 each month to operate the Dial 452-PRAY telephone ministry? All of our money is donated by individuals and organizations who believe in the value of having a Christ-Centered message available on the telephone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Memorial cards are also available at your church for those who would like to donate in memory of a loved one. Donations may be sent to Dial 452-PRAY at 1121 Georgia Avenue, Sheboygan, WI 53081.
