"Just think how encouraging it is to get a message knowing five people are thinking about you, praying for you, and sending Scripture that fits your situation... It's a wonderful platform. I love it. And I can't wait to see where it's going."
About Tentmakers
Tentmakers is a ministry committed to bringing revival, prayer, and discipleship into the marketplace – equipping business leaders and professionals to live out their faith in the workplace. They currently support 93 active small-group Bible studies across the U.S., creating opportunities for both community and prayer.
The Challenge
The Challenge
Tentmakers' rapid growth brought real challenges. Prayer requests soared – but follow-up was manual. Team members prayed once and moved on – with no lasting record. Coordinating multiple intercessors was difficult. Leaders lacked a scalable way to track or support ongoing prayer.
"In the past, I'd just call people and pray for them – which is amazing – but they get that one prayer and then it's done."
Benjamin Richau, Prayer Team Leader
The Solution
The Solution
Tentmakers implemented Seedling – a prayer and discipleship platform that makes personal prayer functional at scale.
With Seedling, the team can:
- Record prayers (up to 5 minutes) that recipients can replay throughout the day
- Pair prayer with Scripture to encourage and anchor the listener
- Mobilize 4–5 intercessors per request, not just one
- Train volunteers in minutes with an intuitive interface
"I trained my team to use the platform in under seven minutes."
— Benjamin Richau
"I love that Scripture is right there next to what we're praying – it's God's Word partnered with intercession."
— Benjamin Richau

Seedling fundamentally changed Tentmakers' prayer ministry:
Sustained Prayer
People replay prayers multiple times a day – prayer becomes ongoing, not momentary.
Stronger Prayer Support
Every request is now covered by multiple intercessors.
Encouragement Through Scripture
Scriptures paired with prayer deepen spiritual care.
Scalable Ministry
Prayer teamwork happens without increasing administrative effort.
