Breakthrough Intercessory Prayer Ministry was started in the Spring of 1980 to handle the prayer needs coming to Christian author, Catherine Marshall. That Spring, Catherine shared with the Board of Directors her vision of matching anonymously people who had prayer concerns with those who had the desire to pray for others. A unanimous decision was made to change the focus of the organization from publishing a Christian magazine to becoming an intercessory prayer ministry. From simple beginnings, the ministry now utilizes a computer based tracking and matching system, whereby each prayer need is sent out to six intercessors worldwide who pray for that anonymous person's need. In 1999, the ministry had more than 4,000 intercessors and sent out more than 91,000 requests for prayer.
