What does it mean to invest in something that will make a difference for generations to come?

For Bill and Betsy, the answer begins with prayer.

Their journey with Intercessors for America began in the late 1980s, when they discovered the IFA newsletter. Even then, they recognized the importance of informed, consistent prayer for our nation’s leaders and the challenges facing America.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

But it was a lesson from a trusted mentor that changed how they thought about supporting Christian ministries.

Rather than giving without a particular strategy, their mentor encouraged them to consider where their resources could have the greatest impact for God’s Kingdom.

Bill and Betsy began approaching their giving as an investment—not simply in an organization, but in the mission and the lives that organization could influence.

IFA became an important part of that commitment.

An Investment That Deepened Their Prayers

Something meaningful happened as Bill and Betsy continued supporting IFA.

Their financial commitment became intertwined with their commitment to prayer.

When asked what being Monthly Ministry Partners means to them personally, they explained:

“It represents a sense of ownership.”

They went on to share that investing consistently compels them to pray fervently for IFA’s greater impact across the nation.

Their story reminds us that monthly partnership is about much more than a financial transaction.

It’s about sharing in a mission.

It’s about caring deeply for the people that mission serves.

And it’s about joining other believers who recognize that lasting change begins with prayer.

For Bill and Betsy, IFA’s commitment to praying for elected officials has been especially meaningful. They value the opportunity to pray for leaders by name, understand the issues those leaders face, and encourage them through personal relationships.

They also appreciate the biblical insight and timely information IFA provides to help believers pray with greater understanding.

Investing in the Next Generation

As Bill and Betsy reflect on their years of partnership, they see something that extends far beyond their own lives.

They see an opportunity to invest in future generations.

They shared:

“We trust IFA fully and know that when we release our earthly treasures to their charge that the investment will be realized for future generations.”

That perspective is at the heart of faithful monthly partnership.

Every day, IFA works to inform, connect, and mobilize believers to pray for America.

Through timely articles, prayer guides, national prayer calls, and opportunities for local intercessors to connect, IFA helps believers turn their concerns into informed, purposeful prayer.

Monthly Ministry Partners help sustain that work.

Their consistent support allows IFA to continue equipping intercessors and reaching others who may be searching for biblical guidance and encouragement.

And Bill and Betsy have a memorable way of describing why they believe in supporting the ministry:

“If you draw from the well regularly, then it is time to prime the pump with your monthly offering and watch the water flow.”

It’s a simple but powerful invitation.

When something has strengthened your own prayer life, you have an opportunity to help make that same encouragement available to someone else.

BECOME A MONTHLY MINISTRY PARTNER

We’re celebrating what God is doing through faithful intercessors across America!

More and more intercessors are signing up to become Monthly Ministry Partners every day.

As of November 9, 2026, we’re more than three-quarters of the way toward our original goal of 200 new partners.

And because of this wonderful response, we’re extending the invitation through the end of the year!

Every new partner helps strengthen the foundation of a ministry committed to equipping believers to pray for our nation.

Perhaps IFA has helped you understand an issue through a biblical lens.

Maybe you’ve found encouragement through a prayer call, shared an article with a friend, or used IFA prayer resources with your church or small group.

If IFA has been a blessing in your life, would you prayerfully consider helping us extend that blessing to others?

Like Bill and Betsy, you can become part of something that reaches beyond your own prayers and into the lives of other intercessors.

Your faithful partnership today can help equip believers to pray for generations to come.

YES, I’LL BECOME A MONTHLY MINISTRY PARTNER

Together, we can equip a nation to pray.
