These portable cards mobilize you to change children’s lives through prayer! This set of laminated tear-off cards is perfect for group distribution to the parents in your school, church, neighborhood, and beyond. Each set contains four laminated prayer cards empowering parents to pray one of twelve character traits (48 cards total).

Optionally, the set allows parents to focus on one trait for four weeks—nearly a year’s worth of cards! Each 3" x 5" card displays one character trait, its description, a Scripture verse, and prayer taken from While They Are Sleeping.

Easy ideas to maximize your Character Shines! Prayer Cards

• Consider leading a year of prayer for your children in your school, neighborhood, extended family, small group (Bible studies, MOPS, PTA), church (AWANA programs, Sunday School programs, etc.), and beyond. You might distribute these cards so that each parent focuses on one trait per month—or if you desire, one prayer card each week.
  
• While parents are praying for and meditating on a particular trait, empower them practically to instill this trait in their homes. You might encourage them to
  
  • memorize a related verse
    
  • focus on the trait in family devotional times
    
  • discuss the trait: what it is, what it looks like, how their children already do it well
    
  • organize family activities around the trait
    
  • write a letter to a child affirming character you’ve witnessed
    
    (For practical ideas, see “Live It Out” and “You and Me Time” in While They Are Sleeping.)
  
  
  
  
• Suggest a particular time of day as a reminder to pray for the trait: at 10:10 AM, for example, or when they’re taking their kids to school.
  
• Send a group e-mail encouraging parents in the power of praying for their children. Ask them to reply with answers to prayer they’ve witnessed.
  
• Coordinate with a leader of your group to launch an integrated campaign for character: with praying parents, related lessons and emphasis for children, and even character-related projects for kids. Character Shines! Poster Set and Character Shines! Award Certificates may help!
