Our Partners
Pray Her Forward is grateful to collaborate with individuals, ministries, and organizations who share a passion for faith-based mentorship and investing in the next generation. These partners—ministries, organizations, and individuals—share a commitment to faith, mentorship, and investing in young people so they can grow in confidence, purpose, and their relationship with Christ.
Encircled
Encircled equips faith communities, parents, and mentors to raise a generation of young people who confidently pursue the gifts and purpose God has placed within them. Through a guided discipleship process, Encircled helps youth discover how God has uniquely wired them—identifying their identity, character, spiritual gifts, and vision.
Founded by Ben Bevis, Encircled was created to address a growing need for young people to develop a sustainable, lifelong faith supported by intentional relationships. The Encircled approach brings together a “Mentor Circle”—trusted adults who commit to walking alongside a young person, offering prayer, encouragement, and wisdom.
A key part of the ministry is the free Encircled app, which allows mentors and mentees to journey through the process together. Within the app, youth can explore identity, character, gifts, and vision while identifying five mentors who will encircle them with support, accountability, and prayer. By equipping churches and organizations with this structured approach, Encircled helps cultivate lasting discipleship and meaningful mentorship for the next generation.
You Can Mentor
You Can Mentor exists to equip and support mentors and mentoring leaders who want to make a lasting difference in the lives of young people. The organization provides practical training, resources, and community for those who believe that meaningful relationships can transform lives and strengthen the next generation.
Founded by Zach Garza, You Can Mentor was born out of both personal experience and years of ministry leadership. As a fatherless child, Zach experienced the life-changing impact of a mentor and developed a deep passion for helping other young people encounter the same support and healing. His journey led him into youth ministry and nearly a decade of teaching and coaching in a low-income Dallas school, where he worked closely with students facing significant challenges. Through You Can Mentor, his mission is simple: equip mentors and ministries so that more young people experience hope, guidance, and transformation through Christ-centered relationships.
