# Prayer Community adds a church prayer feed

*June 17, 2026*

[Back to changelog](/changelog/index)

Prayer Community adds a member-facing prayer feed for each church.

## What's New

* Members can open the Prayer Community from the Connect page.
* Members can submit prayer requests from the mobile app.
* Approved prayer requests appear in a church-scoped feed.
* Pending or rejected requests stay out of the community feed.
* Members can tap `I prayed` to show support for a request.
* `I prayed` is counted once per member for each request.
* Members can review their own submitted requests.
* Request owners can mark their own requests as answered.
* Answered requests can include optional testimony text.
* Anonymous requests hide requester identity in the feed.
* Non-anonymous requests can show the member or display name.

## Why This Matters

Prayer requests no longer stop at private submission. Churches can build a simple prayer loop where members share needs, pray together, and celebrate answered prayers while the existing approval process remains the moderation gate.
