About Us
Our Mission We are here to share with you how you can know God intimately and enjoy the abundant life He gives to those who seek Him.
We want you to be one of our prayer partners. Together let's learn to pray prayers that really transform individuals,
families, small groups and churches. We can even unite in prayers that will lead nations to repent like
ancient Ninevah when Jonah warned them, "Yet 40 days and Nineveh shall be destroyed".
 W. E. Hawkins:
Founder and BPF General Director (1927-1961)
Bible Prayer Fellowship is the successor to Radio Revival. The late W. E.
Hawkins started Radio Revival in 1927. His passion was revival in the
churches. He was a man of prayer. You could not leave his office without
praying with him. He worked closely with Dallas Theological Seminary and he
trained many of the students in practical Christian service.
He sent many students to rural communities to preach in vacant school
buildings. This was the only ministry these communities had. He also had a
strong interest in building Christian homes. The organization published
tracts, booklets and a wall motto to instruct Christian parents in leading
family prayers and training their children to follow the Lord.
In 1957 he changed the name of the ministry to Bible Fellowship. This name
was chosen because of close cooperation with other ministries, such as,
Dallas Seminary, Dallas Bible College, Southern Bible Institute and Central
American Mission.
W. E. Hawkins passed away in 1962 and Rev. Oliver W. Price was appointed as the
new General Director. Rev. Oliver W. Price has continued as General Director
until the present time. There have only been two directors in our 75 year
history.
In 1997 the name was changed from Bible Fellowship to Bible Prayer
Fellowship. This was done because united prayer in Christian homes and
churches became the primary ministry. Rev. Oliver W. Price wrote a book The
Power of Praying Together; Experiencing Christ Actively In Charge, published
by Kregel in 1999. The late Dr. John F. Walvoord wrote the foreword. Bible Prayer
Fellowship publishes monthly revival insights.
In 2000, Rev. Bill Price, son of BPF's General Director, Rev. Oliver W. Price, joined the staff as
Associate Director and Web Pastor. Under his leadership, Bible Prayer
Fellowship has greatly increased its outreach through its presence on the
Internet with our own website. He also authors 3 e-newsletters to pastors,
prayer leaders and believers wanting a deeper prayer life.
In 2002 Rev. Oliver W. Price wrote a 24 page booklet Whatever Happened To The Tie
That Binds. This ground breaking booklet presents the urgent need to
establish marriages that last a lifetime. The special feature of this
booklet is a unique message on how to establish and maintain unity in
marriage through praying together. The booklet offers a basis for unity and
a commitment to seek help if unity is threatened.

Rev. Bill Price:
BPF Associate Director and Web Pastor (2000-Present)
bprice@praywithchrist.org
 The son of Rev. Oliver W. Price, Rev. Bill is responsible for our online ministry at Praywithchrist.org.
Oliver and Bill have joined forces to teach "The Power of Praying Together". Following is a clip from a recent article Pastor Bill wrote:
Praying Together with Your Spouse
In practical terms, how does prayer help a marriage? When you come together into God's presence, somehow your
guard comes down. You gain a new perspective that allows you to hold your spouse and the things in your life a
bit more lightly. God reassures us that he's in charge, that he's working his purposes out in our lives and
in our marriages. And that frees us to let go of our need to control people or circumstances.
Louis Evans, former pastor of the Hollywood Presbyterian Church, made an amazing statement. He said that
he never knew a couple who went ahead with a divorce after first praying together, on their knees, every day, for a week.
Praying together is both a solvent and a glue. It dissolves resentments and bitterness, and binds hearts
in new and joyous harmony. : "It is only when a husband and wife pray together before God that they find the secret of
true harmony: that the difference in their temprements, their ideas, and their tastes enriches their home instead
of endangering it.
"When each of the marriage partners seeks quietly before God to see his own faults, reconizing his sin,
and asks the forgiveness of the other, marital problems are no more...They learn to become absolutely honest with
each other...This is the price to be paid if partners very different from each other are to combine their gifts
instead of setting them against each other."
If praying together can restore a marriage about to break up, think of what it can do to strengthen
and enrich a marriage that is lacking in communication and intimacy. It is certainly worth a try.
