Christ Like Entertainment catches up with the CEO of PrayingPeople.com, Deloris Smith

CLE: So, Deloris, tell me a little bit about you.
PP: I was born and raised in Jacksonville and married to Michael Smith for 9 years and I have 3 boys.

CLE: How have you changed spiritually over the past few years?
PP: I have grown closer to God by trusting in him, studying his word, walking in obedience, and praying, but mainly trusting in what God says.

CLE: You recently received some big news…prayingpeople.com has come alive. Can you explain to me exactly what PrayingPeople.com is about?
PP: Prayingpeople.com is a group of individuals that are going to God on someone else’s behalf…that are actually interceding for others…trusting and believing in what God can do and being obedient in our life.

CLE: Explain your take on intercessory prayer.
PP: Intercessory prayer is James 5:16, confessing your faults one to another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much…That is what it is to me. Intercessory prayer…standing in the gap.

CLE: So, how did it all begin?
PP: It all began with faithful, God fearing individuals loving the things of God, loving the people of God and wanting to go on there behalf before God . The word of God says we need to pray for one another. We had a small group coming together with Monday night bible study and my nephew, Edward, came up with the idea of getting up at 5:30 in the morning and getting on a prayer line and going to God on behalf of others. It grew from one day to almost a year now. Now people start requesting by calling and by email and God gave us the vision to take it further than just our group.

CLE: What was the motivation behind prayingpeople.com?
PP: Holy Spirit…we were led by the Holy Spirit.

CLE: How did you come up with the name?

CLE: When can people look forward to accessing prayingpeople.com?
PP: They can actually access praying people.com 24 hrs and day 7 days a week by calling the 800 number. The website will be accessible in the near future.
