“…when a believing person prays, great things happen.”
-James 5:16 (NCV)
We know that prayer changes things;
that God’s Word is able to change any and all circumstances;
that when two or more are gathered and ask anything, He is going to move.
If you have need of anything, we want to get in agreement with you.
We would love the opportunity to pray for you
and for you to partner with us in praying for things going on around the world.

    Will You Pray With Us?

    2. Pray for the Shabaki people of Iraq that God would open hearts to not just hear the Word but come to faith and multiply amongst the people.
