Pray With Us

Tap into the power of prayer by joining our 21-Day Prayer Challenge. Every morning you’ll receive specific prayer requests for our students, staff, communities and the city of Chicago. Sign up today to make an eternal difference through prayer.

Prayer is powerful because God is all-powerful—and because God promises to hear our requests and to respond to our needs. By The Hand depends upon prayer—as do our kids. Please join us as we pray for the following.

  • Abundant life—mind, body and soul—for our children and families
  • Wisdom and strength for our leadership, staff and volunteers
  • God’s provision for future expansion and programming
  • Peace and righteousness to increase throughout our communities—and Chicago

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:6-7

Transforming Lives

Together, we can make it possible for our students across Chicago to experience abundant life.

MAKE
A GIFT.

By The Hand currently serves more than 1,700 children, but many more are in need of intervention. And the window of time we have to reach them is narrow. But you can help a child have abundant life—right now. Make a gift - and fuel the power of transformation.

WAYS TO GIVE

FUNDRAISER.
