PRAY FOR PARTNER COUNTRIES

"All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name." Psalm 86:9

We seek to keep the church informed and encouraged to pray for our partner nations and ministries through regular communication and leveraging corporate gatherings. We want people to gain a heart for the nations and exercise their authority in Christ through prayer.
