Prayer

One of the things many of our supporters do best is pray for us — and we know prayer works. Whether prayers of gratitude, petitions for the resources we need to do our work, specific prayers for the needs of our families, or general thanksgiving, we invite you to join us in being active in our prayer life.

If you’d like to be added to our list of prayer requests, please use this link. We send out a monthly prayer request email and invite you to join us as we offer our petitions and prayers to God.
