Live Prayer is a Christian evangelical Internet and television ministry located in Tampa, Florida, founded and operated by Bill Keller. The ministry began in 1999 as a website featuring a daily devotional written by Keller and offers to accept and pray over emails, later expanding into a daily TV show on March 3, 2003. Live Prayer was broadcast nationally in the United States from July 3, 2006 through November 2006 on ION Television. At the end of that period, the ministry was financially unable to continue purchasing national airtime and returned to the Florida market. In 2013, Keller obtained enough funding to continue the program on several major city markets, including Chicago, and, by 2015, managed to secure airtime on forty-nine of the fifty U.S. states, with all but Hawaii broadcasting his nightly program. However, after further financial difficulties in late 2016, the ministry's live program was put on hiatus before being entirely cancelled due to a lack of funding in November 2016. However, on November 26, 2018, over two years after the cancellation of his TV program, Keller debuted the new LivePrayer program on various social media websites and streaming services. (en) |
