Update On The Share-Care-Prayer Club

When I started The Share-Care-Prayer Club on May 14, 2014, I
had no idea how things would turn out.  I had several online clubs in the past, but they were secular, and didn't last long due to one problem or another.
1: Invasion by trolls that got out of hand.
2: Lack of members.
3: Host site began to require mobile phone numbers.

So I wouldn't have been all that surprised if The Share-Care-Prayer Club had also flopped... but, thank God, it didn't.  Far from it!  There are now more than 600 members.

Oh, and if you go to the link, please click on the Prayer Support tab on the top of the page. I was pleasantly surprised by what I found there!
