Prayer Priorities

This month’s prayer focus is on the New Year. 2018 is an invitation to creativity! We serve a God who is passionately innovative in how he changes lives and transforms communities.

This month’s prayer focus is the Global Sports Ministry Team. According to Global Mapping Institute, 86% of the world’s non-believers do not personally have a relationship with a Christian.
