Start A Prayer Bowl Business

A prayer bowl is a hand-designed bowl where believers keep their prayer intentions. The bowls come with note cards for which the believer writes reminders to pray. A prayer bowl business is not capital intensive, and anyone with a creative entrepreneurial mindset can start.

If you are an artist or a carpenter, you can make handcrafted wood bowls and sell them to believers. Alternatively, you can outsource prayer bowls from a carpentry workshop and sell them online.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a prayer bowl business:
