Praise report

In certain branches of Christianity, a praise report occurs when a believer shares with the congregation a positive happening that has transpired in his/her life that he/she attributes to God.[1] The sharing of praise reports, prayer requests, and testimonies is a common practice in services of worship in the Baptist, Methodist (inclusive of the holiness movement), and Pentecostal traditions of Christianity.[2] In The People Called Methodist, theologians William Benjamin Lawrence, Dennis M. Campbell, and Russell E. Richey define praise reports as "reports or events in people's lives to be celebrated".[3] The Free Methodist Church notes that the praise reports are a testimony to the work of the Holy Spirit.[4] A number of churches have online platforms through which the faithful can share prayer requests and praise reports online.[5][6]

Christians of all denominations, such as Roman Catholics and Evangelical Lutherans, may share praise reports with one another or publish them for people to read.[7][8]
