Fishers of Men
Cast the net. Carry someone home. Gather the lights of souls on a quiet sea. Every so often the net pauses and asks you to name, and lift, someone far from faith. Those you name are kept, and when their gold light drifts back across the sea, catching it lifts them again in prayer.

How to play
- Lights breathe on a dark sea. Tap one to gather it into the net.
- After a handful of catches the net pauses with a verse and a question: who are you carrying home?
- Type a first name. That person is kept, privately, between you and God.
- Their light returns to the sea as gold. Gather it whenever it appears and you have lifted them in prayer again.
- Keep casting. The count grows, the carried grow, and the sea stays quiet.
A session, start to finish
Lights breathe on a dark sea and you tap them into the net, one after another, until the net pauses and asks who you are carrying. Type a first name. From then on that name drifts back across your sea as a gold light, and every time you gather it you have lifted them again. Ten minutes on a bench, or two before sleep: the game has no end, because neither does the praying.
The Scripture it stands on
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Matthew 4:19, King James Version
What it forms in you
A rhythm of intercession for specific people, so that praying for the lost becomes something your hands do as naturally as your heart wishes it would.
Who it is for
Anyone with a name they cannot stop thinking about, evangelists, parents, and those who want a calm two minutes that is also prayer.
A reflection
Jesus did not say gather fish. He said follow me, and I will make you. Who is the gold light on your sea tonight, and when did you last lift them?
Questions people ask
Who can see the names I carry?
No one. They are kept on your device and appear only as gold lights on your own sea.
Is there an end?
No. It is a rhythm, not a race; play for a minute or an evening.
What happens when I catch a gold light?
The person is lifted again, and the game says so.
