The Full Story
Ephesians 6:18
"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people."
This verse comes at the end of a famous piece of scripture where the apostle Paul is compelling us to put on the full armor of God so we can stand against the wilds of the enemy. He is not only emphasizing the importance of praying for ourselves but emphasizes the importance of praying for the life of others. He encourages prayer in the life of a believer, encouraging them to engage in prayer at all times and for all believers, highlighting the significance of spiritual intercession and vigilance in the Christian life.
This emphasize to pray is where the Can I Pray For You Mission begins. In early 2024, Ryan Schraffenberger, founder of Can I Pray For You, realized that people were in need of intercession. He realized that one of the easiest things that could be done to help people is to pray for them. Being the owner and founder of Promotions Guy, a promotions and marketing company, he realized he could use his expertise in the retail industry to make a difference. This is when Ryan started making the Can I Pray For You shirt and yard signs, and spreading the word among other believers. CIPFY has now grown from just a handle full of people to hundreds of people across the worlds, and will continue to grow to thousands and millions of believers using the power of prayer to make a difference world wide.
