Where we started...
Bill has lived and built a family business in the region around Cookeville, TN. Married to his high school sweetheart, they have two grown children and three grandchildren.
With a career growing and building one of the most respected nursery and landscaping businesses in Middle Tennessee, they had the great pleasure of building this family business from the ground up, so to speak.
Several years ago, while working on an irrigation truck, Bill fell from the top of a landscaping truck onto the pavement with a direct head impact. God's grace led him through that long and painful recovery. While learning to walk, talk, and survive, he turned to Middle Eastern and Chinese medicine and energy work. Through learning these methods of concentration and discipline he was able to regain most previous functionality. God's healing grace walked each step with him in this recovery.
During this time he began meditating and listening to God's words and found a new purpose and passion in a mission to do God's will, and Prayat4 came into being.
Bill was searching for something that would help people build a habit of, at least, praying once a day. The afternoon time of 4 p.m. is approaching the end of a business day. The time you are still busy, but need a break. Prayat4 provides a conscious break to connect to God's plan. While shopping, standing in line, or conversing at restaurants, he began to teach people to set their watches and shared a guidance prayer for them to follow.
Now you can sign up for a free, daily text reminder to Stop, Breathe, and say a Prayer. It's automatic, and you can do it anywhere. It only takes a moment to change your life.
Expanding Our Vision
As time went on, we were able to partner with the university here to create a website with a texting function. For several years, we have partnered with a local sign company to have a holiday Prayat4 billboard on the I-40 Interstate through Tennessee. Each step was focused on education and reach.
Now we have expanded our reach and mission to include an instant connection with our Prayat4 QR CODE.
Giving people the simple tool of signing up for a daily Prayat4 text gives them the reconnect that most people are searching for in their lives. Sign up by clicking the button below, or text the word "PRAYAT4" to 94000 to instantly get signed up.
God has always been there, now he wants to hear from you.
Education is the key factor here. We want to share the message and the daily 4 p.m. prayer habit with the world. We need your help. Share this habit with others, ask friends and your church to sign up, and also come back and tell us how this has transformed you. We are all his children. This can be a worldwide prayer that connects us, grounds us, and honors our connection with God's Love.
Where We Are Headed
What We Believe
Core Beliefs
All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of Biblical doctrines.
God
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore, is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Revelation
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
