Lafayette’s Carden White often drove by people waving signs advertising drive-thru prayers at the at 75th and Arapahoe on his way to Boulder.
He had even considered offering to help as a volunteer. But as he drove by on Sunday, he decided he could use a prayer himself and stopped. He asked for prayers to help him find a job and for help with a medical issue.
“I’m a believer,” he said after two church pastors prayed for him through his car window. “I’m trying to walk with the Lord. I’m glad I was able to receive prayer.”
Twice a month on Sundays, depending on the weather, about a dozen volunteers wave signs on the corners around the non-denominational Christian church and offer prayers in the parking lot to those who stop.
Church leaders saw another church’s drive-thru prayer service on social media a couple of years ago and decided to add it to their outreach efforts, which include setting up a tent at the Boulder Creek Festival.
