Too busy to go to church? If you live in Chandler, Ariz., you no longer have any excuses, as a new drive-thru prayer booth makes asking for assistance from God as easy as ordering a combo burrito fourthmeal from Taco Bell.Pastor Roger Storms of Chandler Christian Church concedes what began as a one-off event has yet to get that much of response, but added, "It just takes one prayer to change a person's heart."
To that end, Storms has now promised to keep his parking lot prayer booth open 24/7, meaning you can now request spiritual guidance from the big fella at hours you can't even scare up a junior bacon cheeseburger.
And if that's all still too inconvenient, Storms's church also accepts prayers via the Internet.
Think a drive-thru prayer booth is a little out there? Keep reading to see our list of other real-life drive-thru services that'll have you scratching your head.
Drive-thru chapel -- For when just a Vegas wedding isn't tacky enough, you can exchange your Sin City vows without leaving the comfort of your rental car.
Drive-thru emergency room -- A California hospital has experimented with having doctors and nurses examine patients while they are still in their car.
Drive-thru strip clubs -- At 10 dollars a minute, this revealing roadside attraction makes gas prices seem cheap.
Drive-thru funeral homes -- Nothing says you care like viewing a loved one's body from a Ford Taurus.
Dive-thru liquor stores -- They are quite common in some places, but if you don't come from one of those places the concept comes off as both spectacular and a spectacularly bad idea.
Drive-thru government -- In effort to speed up the crawl associated with federal employees, Pennsylvania state representative Kevin Murphy has installed a drive-thru window for legislative services in his office for his constituents. A California county experimented with drive-in voting.

Right. Because no omniscient, omnipotent God could possibly hear your prayers if you were just, say, at home. Or driving. Or walking. Or at work. Or just about anywhere. Are there actually believers of God who fall for this nonsense, that to mean something, a prayer can only be offered up in church??? Good grief.

ITS OBVIOUS YOUR NOT A CHRISTIAN OR IF YOU ARE YOU DONT ATTEND CHURCH OR READ THE BIBLE. IN MONDERN DAY TERMINOLGY SO YOU MAY UNDERSTAND, CHRIST FAVORED THOSE WHO PRAYED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, IN YOUR HOUSE, WHATEVER..VERSES MAKING A PUBLIC DISPLAY OUT OF IT. GOD WILL HEAR NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.

This church thing is getting way out of hand. When I was growing up we had service every Sunday at 10 and that was it. Now becuase people are to busy they come up with this. Excuse me but isn't this suppose to be the Almighty God who gave is only son for all of us, you would think we could make time for him, instead of penciling him in at your convience. It seems to me that people on love god on thier time not his. What a bunch of hypocrits.

I feel if you don't have time for God he won't have time for you. How are these people going to manage heaven. God is there all of the time forever. we will be singing praises and being with God through eternity. No five minute God fixes. It is sad to me that people do not love God enough to give him some time and worship him.

Seems odd! I'd rather pray IN CHURCH or at home but a drive-thru? I heard it all!

i think the point is more of a counselling, someone-is-right-here-for-you type of thinking. i didn't get out of it that the pastor is trying to imply God isn't able, but more of God and His people are here for you. When "hard times" strick some get knocked so hard they just need an ear for a minute and someone to help them remember that even as big as the problem seems there is someone bigger. i'm trying to figure out how he is going to have the prayer booth "manned"/"womaned" 24/7. ??? Must be a huge, and/or very dedicated congregation.

Nothing new. In Sacramento, CA some years ago, they had a Drive-In Church. It was set up like a drive-in movie theater, speakers and all. It's gone now. Don't know if it had a snack bar...

won't be long, if it isn't already in effect that they'll set up little cubicles and offer you sex if you'll just come to Jesus. Just the other night I took all I could of that damn thief Mike Murdock and his fellow thieves, is it Cirillo? but the dad of Cirillo is presently building a 4 million dollar home. Yep, they're like Rev. Ike they don't want pie in the sky by and by, they want it all now, "gimme gimme gimme, just $1,000, God told me to tell you to give me $1,000 so do it because i need a new Luxury car, another Rolex, another million dollar home". Anyway I called just to tell whoever answered that they needed to consider that they were partners in crime with thse guys and as soon as I said, "can I tell you something?" she hung up on me. If you aren't poised and ready to donate you mean nothing to them. Surely there's an extra portion of hell that is a little hotter for these false prophets. Follow any of the 42,000 that walk out of Joel Osteens church this Sunday and if you see the actions of Christ in 1/10th of 1% of them, I would be greatly surprised.

I think it's great that there is someone to agree in prayer support for Gods people 24/7.
This doesn't mean we cannot or should not pray wherever we are, God is always with us and hears us when His children talk to Him. The Bible does say when two or three come together in jesus' name, He is in the midst of them Mathew 18:20. And in Deut.32:30 it tells us one can chase 1000 and two can put 10,000 to flight.But this is in no way a substitute for worship and fellowship with other believers !

Growing up in Wyoming we had the greatest drive thru invention of all time. Not only did we have drive thru liquor stores, you could order mixed drinks at the drive thru. On your way to the lake you could get a beer for you and a nice frosty margarita for the wife.

I guess most of you are too young to remember, but Robert Schuller started his first big church at a drive-in movie lot. Look where he is today.
God has blessed his ministry.

maybe you can order a McPrayer? Is the same church in Arizona that the pastor ordered a special type of prayer, "imprecatory prayers” (prayers that ask God to kill or otherwise harm others) have become all too common in recent years. This ordered for President Obama and for Barry Lynn, director of American United for Separation of Church and State, au.org. WOW
