What is Iron Prayer?

"Come for an opportunity to hear testimonies, worship our Lord Jesus, and support fellow athletes in prayer!"

Iron Prayer - "A time to focus our hearts and minds back on God, through prayer, testimony, and worship, during the Ironman event which, in many ways, likens to the hurdles in life that we can overcome through Christ who strengthens us."

The IRON PRAYER is a NON DENOMINATIONAL gathering of athletes, family, and friends for a time of worship, testimonies, and prayer prior to Ironman triathlon events around the world. The purpose is to help everyone get their focus from "self", and all that is going on with the event, to the source of strength - God and to the needs of others as we pray for each other.
