Our Mission
The P.U.P. Club inspires and equips hearts young and old to transform the routine of daily life into accessible prayer opportunities, anchoring a constant connection to God. Our mission is to help children (and adults, too!) practice praying without ceasing, so we can stay connected to God throughout our day. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being content and secure in Christ—building a lifelong, close relationship with Jesus.
By practicing the P.U.P.™ Method, we can remain firmly anchored in Christ and the truth of God's Word.

How to Pray Your Way Through the Day

Say Hello to Leo!
Leo the Beagle is a lovable, big ball of energy who enjoys learning about the Bible! At church summer camp, he learned a fun way to remember how to pray without ceasing called the Pop-Up Prayers, P.U.P. Method—and he can’t wait to share it with you!
Leo's Big Test
Best friends Leo and Alex are worried about a big math test! Math is hard for Alex, and he is struggling with test anxiety. Leo teaches him how to pray without ceasing using the Pop-Up Prayers, P.U.P.™ Method. This method is based on a very special instruction found in the Bible: “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17).
Kids today need more than just a story; they need a direct connection to the God who created them and loves them. Through the P.U.P.™ Method, children learn to stay connected to God throughout their day.
The Heart Behind the Story from the Author
Jesus said we must receive the Kingdom of God like a little child. This is the heart of this book and why it is for everyone! Younger children will grow into these pages, while elementary and middle schoolers (and older!) can join Leo and Alex in their fun adventures, learning the P.U.P.™ Method to help them navigate a busy, often overwhelming world—one prayer at a time.

About the Author
Lisa Ann Sanchez is a former foster child who graduated from high school while still in the foster system. Having experienced firsthand how prayer transforms a life during the toughest times, she created the Pop-Up Prayers, P.U.P.™ Method to help kids (and even adults!) connect with God anywhere, anytime. Lisa knows that prayer changes everything, and also how her own decision to put her trust in Jesus at eight years old changed her life forever.
As a volunteer camp counselor to foster children, she originally created the Pop-Up Prayers, P.U.P.™ Method to help the children she served grow their relationship with God, one prayer at a time. This method is based on a very special instruction found in the Bible: “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). We all need simple reminders to Look-Up to God and His Word instead of looking inward as we go about our busy lives.
Her mission is to launch a Prayer Movement for all ages!
Invite Lisa to Speak
Please email info@popupprayers.com to learn more about inviting Lisa Ann Sanchez to share a message of hope and biblical urgency with your church or organization. Lisa speaks frankly about the challenging times we live in—a culture where reverence for God is quickly fading away (Proverbs 9:10) and many do "what is right in their own eyes" (Judges 21:25). With a generation at stake, she emphasizes that it has never been more important to strengthen the family, connect children to God early, and to teach them to believe Him and follow His Word (Psalm 119:105).
Miracles, a Mission, and a Method
Lisa shares the powerful testimony of how God took the broken pieces of her childhood as a former foster child and turned them into a mission to serve others, pointing people to Jesus—the "Anchor" that never moves. The odds were all against her, but God was for her (Romans 8:31). While the process of being refined in the fire was difficult, Lisa can now look back and see how God was preparing her for a timely mission, far greater than she could have ever imagined (1 Peter 1:7). Today, Lisa is a resilient survivor, a grandmother, and an author dedicated to pointing every child toward the same unshakeable "Anchor" she found in Christ—knowing that He is the One who gives them a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11)
Equipping the Next Generation
The Bible teaches us we are in a spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12). The P.U.P. (Pop-Up Prayers) Method is a timely tool for these uncertain times, helping to equip the Body of Christ to stand firm in the truth of God’s Word. Lisa’s heart is to encourage parents, grandparents, teachers, and mentors to "keep up the good fight" for the next generation through an inspiring presentation that is sure to encourage congregations and organizations worldwide. Prayer changes everything!

Deep Breathing Exercises
Sometimes it helps to take a deep breath when we’re stressed or before prayer. That's why Leo and Alex are going to teach you some breathing exercises!
Do these exercises a few times, taking a normal breath in between each one. Only do what you feel comfortable with and slowly work your way up to three to five sets throughout the day. Remember to rest in Jesus and give all your cares to God!
Take a SLOW deep breath through your nose (inhale like you’re smelling a rose) for a count of four.
Hold the breath in for a count of three or four.
Then, exhale out of your mouth (like you’re blowing bubbles) for a count of six.
