Free – Prayer.Tools
You can head to campaigns.prayer.tools and sign up for a prayer site.
You will get a url that looks like {campaign-name}.prayer.tools and that looks like https://demo.prayer.tools/.
You will be able to customize the text, colors and images.
If you want to use your own domain, have a look at the next 2 options
Your own domain – Crimson Hosting
If you want to use your own domain, head over to https://crimsonpowered.com/disciple-tools-hosting/ and choose the Disciple Tools Standard option. The host will contact you during the setup and you can let them know that this will be a prayer site.
Full control – Self Hosting
You can choose to self host by setting up your own WordPress instance or choose one of the many WordPress hosting options available.
After WordPress is set up you need to:
- Install and activate the Disciple.Tools theme: https://disciple.tools/download/
- Install and activate the Prayer Campaigns plugin: https://disciple.tools/plugins/prayer-campaigns/
- Make sure you have backups set up
- Make sure you have an email service configured for sending emails
- Make sure you have server cron jobs set up and running correctly. https://developers.disciple.tools/hosting/cron
Embedding the sign up tool on your marketing website.
The sign up tool can be embedded on your existing public website if you want user to sign up directly there.
By default the campaign prayer fuel will be on the domain the prayer campaign tool is installed on. You can build your own prayer fuel section on your website if you wish to and change the link in email notifications.
