Real Christian churches near a person, nearest first, from two live sources: the churches on The Living Bread (some claimed by their own leaders) and a worldwide open directory of about 120,000 churches with stable entity ids. City-level only, with distance in km. Says plainly when nothing is held near the place. People ask: "is there a church near me", "Baptist churches in Dallas", "where can I go to church this Sunday in Lagos", "a Catholic parish near Manchester". Use whenever someone wants a church, congregation or Christian community near them; the Body of Christ is the door, and walking in is the step.

find_churches_near

Real upcoming Christian gatherings a person could attend: services, prayer nights, Bible studies, worship nights, meals, care and recovery, online gatherings. Posted by real churches and believers; nothing invented. Times are UTC. People ask: "is there a Bible study near me this week", "any prayer meeting tonight", "an online church service I can join", "something for a first visit that is not Sunday". Use when someone asks what is happening near them, wants a first step that is not a Sunday service, or wants something online.

find_gatherings_near

Real gatherings in the next seven days near a city: services, prayer nights, studies, meals, online rooms, with when (UTC) and where (city level). The same live data as find_gatherings_near, bounded to one week so a person can pick a day. People ask: "what is happening this week near Austin", "anything tonight in Lagos", "a service I can walk into this Sunday".

events_this_week

The door where believers from many nations pray out loud over the whole Living Bread family, one voice at a time, and where a person can listen and add their own. Use when someone wants to hear others pray, feels alone, or asks what the family is praying.

hear_the_kingdom_pray

Today for the signed-in believer, in one paragraph and in parts: the Daily Bread for their morning (read from the stored text), the prayers waiting unheard over them, who in their own family is carrying something today (first names and feelings only), their next gathering, one open Serve need near them when their profile holds a place, and the yes they are walking. Absent parts are simply absent; nothing is invented. People ask: "what is my day", "anything waiting for me", "what should I pray for today". Read only; acts as the signed-in believer.

my_day

The circles and prayer groups this believer belongs to, and the next gatherings on their calendar (title, when in the group's time zone, host, how many are going, whether they said they are coming), each with the room to open. This tool acts as the signed-in believer and reads only what they could see in the app themselves.

my_family

What this believer has said yes to Christ about, in their own words, with the verse they held and whether they have lived it yet. Never a streak, never a score. This tool acts as the signed-in believer and reads only what they could see in the app themselves.

my_walk

One church from the Christian Knowledge API by country and slug (e.g. country "united-states", slug "saint-josephs"; ids look like lb:church:united-states/saint-josephs). Returns its stable id, name, denomination, country, website, sameAs links, verified data when the church itself supplied it, and provenance.

church

Open, verified needs on The Living Bread Serve network that the app shows publicly: posted by verified partner organisations, with an approximate place only (never a home address), what is needed, whether it can be met locally, remotely or by funding, and the partner behind it. People ask: "how can I help in my city", "is there a need I can meet this week", "who needs groceries near Kigali", "something I can fund". Honest when none is near; remote and fundable needs are offered then. Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD (Proverbs 19:17).

needs_near

The prayers this believer prayed for others, newest first, each with its honest state: waiting for their morning, delivered, heard, they said Amen, they said thank you, or taken back. Never a count of how many were heard; a mirror, not a score. This tool acts as the signed-in believer and reads only what they could see in the app themselves.

prayers_i_offered

Prayers real believers have left at places (Prayer in Place): a street, a hospital, a school, a church, a town. Public prayers only, with the approximate centre of the cell they were left in (never the exact spot), the kind (voice or written), the words when written, the Scripture named, who left it (first name, or "someone") and how many prayed with it. People ask: "has anyone prayed near this hospital", "prayers left in my town", "pray where others have prayed". Nothing invented; honest when none are near.

prayers_left_near

The prayers, encouragement and blessings real people have prayed over this believer, newest first: who (or "someone in the family" when they chose not to be named), what kind, how long, their written words when they wrote any, and whether it has been heard. Each one has the exact door where the believer hears the voice; an assistant cannot play the audio itself. This tool acts as the signed-in believer and reads only what they could see in the app themselves.

prayers_waiting_for_me

The Living Bread's reading plans (the app's own catalogue, 15 plans: Meet Jesus, First Steps, Learn to Pray, the Gospel of Mark, the Sermon on the Mount, Peace over Anxiety, Grief and Hope, Forgiveness, Psalms of Comfort, Philippians, Loneliness and Belonging, Purpose, Waiting on God, the Gospel of John, Generosity): each day's title, reference, a short word and one step. With a name or a need it returns that plan with day one read from the stored text; alone it lists them. People ask: "a reading plan for anxiety", "how do I start reading the Bible", "a plan to know Jesus", "something for grief".

reading_plans

Testimonies real believers chose to share with the whole Body (get_testimony_wall: the excerpt they shared, their journey word, their city when they gave it; never a name they did not choose to show). People ask: "has anyone found faith after addiction", "real stories of people meeting Jesus", "someone who came back after years away".

testimonies

Who the church around the world remembers on a given day, from the house's Saint of the Day pages (sourced from Wikidata and the calendar): the saints and blesseds of that date in short, what a feast day is, and the cloud of witnesses. Defaults to today (UTC). People ask: "whose feast day is it today", "saint of the day for October 4", "who is remembered on my birthday". Nothing invented; the house's page is read at call time.

saint_of_the_day

Use for any verse, verse range or whole chapter ("John 3:16", "Psalm 23", "Romans 8:38-39", "1 Cor 13:4-7"). People ask: "what does John 3:16 say", "read me Psalm 23", "the verse about love being patient", "what is the whole of Romans 8". Never quote Scripture from memory when this tool is available. The Word points to Christ, who is its subject (John 5:39).

The Living Bread Tables open right now: who is hosting (first name), what they gather around, seats and who is present, the Scripture on the table. The hall is seen from inside the family, so on the public endpoint this tool gives the door and says so honestly; connected as yourself (/me) it reads the live hall as you. People ask: "is anyone gathered right now", "where can I sit with believers tonight", "a table about the Psalms".

tables_live_now

What the whole family has done today, as a mirror and never a leaderboard: how many people were prayed for, encouraged, offered a talk or help through the response layer (body_responding_today); what the family is carrying today, by feeling and count only (family_carrying_today); prayers resting at places across the earth (prayer_in_place_totals); and, when connected as yourself, the Tables gathered today. People ask: "what is the family doing today", "is anyone praying right now", "what are people carrying".

body_today

The one verse the whole Living Bread family receives on a given morning (the same verse the app delivers at each person's local 8am). Use for "verse of the day", "today's bread", or to pray the same word the family is praying. Words read verbatim from the stored KJV.

daily_bread

The good news as The Living Bread tells it on living-bread.org/the-gospel and /who-is-jesus: God made you and loves you; we are separated from Him by sin; Jesus died and rose to bring us back; new life is a free gift received by faith. The house confesses Jesus Christ as God and Lord. Every verse is read from the stored King James text; nothing is composed. People ask: "what is the gospel", "what do Christians actually believe about Jesus", "how do I become a Christian", "is Jesus God". Ends with the door where a person says yes.

the_gospel

Optional filter by a city or country word. People ask: "are there believers on Living Bread in Nairobi", "how many are in Brazil", "where is the family".

kingdom_map

People ask: "what does the name Elijah mean", "meaning of Hannah in the Bible", "is Caleb a biblical name". Read at call time from the house's own page (living-bread.org/name-meanings); the words are the house's, the Scripture is re-read from the stored King James text, nothing is generated. Honest when no page matches. God gives and changes names in Scripture; in Christ a person is given a new name (Revelation 2:17).

name_meaning

Two Christian denominations or traditions from the Knowledge API, side by side: each one's family tree (parent and branches), its sourced page and links, and the house's posture: one Body, many rooms, Christ the head of all. Never a ranking, never an argument. People ask: "what is the difference between Baptists and Methodists", "Catholic vs Orthodox", "are Pentecostals Protestant".

denomination_compare

People ask: "a verse for anxiety", "what does the Bible say when you feel alone", "scripture for my friend who lost her dad", "a verse about forgiving someone". Returns the verses verbatim from the stored KJV with a one-line reflection in our words, and the page where real believers pray over that need by name; every one of them points to Christ, who carries it with us.

what_the_bible_says_about

The believer this connection acts for: their name, where they are, their church if they named one, and what is waiting for them (prayers over them not yet heard). This tool acts as the signed-in believer and reads only what they could see in the app themselves.

who_am_i

The worship room of The Living Bread: what the house offers for this hour (the catalogue's shelves for morning, day, evening or night, each with its songs and why it is there), the public-domain hymns a person can sing outright, and the two doors: Worship, and Worship Together (a live room where everyone is on the same song). What a live room is playing travels over Realtime presence and is not readable here; the tool says so rather than guess. People ask: "something to worship to tonight", "a hymn for the morning", "is anyone worshipping together right now".
