Companioned Prayer
Christian Fellowship
The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be holy; and he will be called Son of God.”
Luke 1:35
Large Print Supplemental Resources
This page of LARGE PRINT supplemental resources offers churches and religious communities additional Companioned Prayer supplemental handouts, prayer forms, and material for teaching, ministries and outreach.
All downloadable files on this page are the same as on the "Supplemental Resources" page, except that the downloadable files on this page are all LARGE PRINT for printing and use by individuals with vision impairments. Most document fonts are Arial 14, except the prayer forms are Times Roman 18 in order to highlight the distinction between italic and regular text. All large print files have "LP" at the beginning of their filename, and all have the words "LARGE PRINT" in the upper right corner of the first page (in the header).
​
Not all of the material on the Supplemental Resources page is available here in large print. For example, most of the "Instructional Materials," the "Articles, Videos and Links," and and the "Books" section, are not available.

Large Print Supplemental Handouts
​
Large print supplemental handouts are freely available to your church or religious community in response to an individual's need for guidance or understanding. These handouts are not recommended for wholesale inclusion within a basic learning program, but an individual handout can be provided to someone in response to their particular need or inquiry. These large print supplemental handouts are also available to support self-instruction as needed. All of these handouts are from the book, Companioned Prayer, by William Stobbe, downloadable as a single pdf file (not in large print) from the Books section of the Supplemental Resources page.

The large print standard prayer forms are on the LARGE PRINT Resources page. Additional large print forms are offered below.

Large Print Additional Interior Prayers
​
​The interior prayers referenced in "Supportive Interior Prayers" in chapter 9, and also in chapters 6 and 12, of the book, Companioned Prayer, are offered below. These can all be used either with a group of people or with individuals, in outreach, in ministries, and with people attending a prayer group who have not been through the four introductory prayer sessions. They can also be used in a Companioned Prayer ministry presentation and in a Companioned Prayer retreat.

Use and Responsibility
While the CPCF offers all of the above guidelines and resources to churches and religious communities, ultimately it is the responsibility of those sponsoring organizations to determine how to offer Companioned Prayer and how to use it in their ministries.
