Prayer is poweful. Praise is our gift of honor to the Lord. Let's join together in prayer and praise together. If you email me prayer requests or praise reports....I will add them to this page, so we can all pray for each other.
"Where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them" - Matthew 18:20
Even when we're separated by thousands of miles, God knows when we "come together" in prayer...and the impossible becomes possible through Him....
Finally, dear brothers and sisters, I ask you to pray for us. Pray first that the Lord's message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes..." -2 Thessalonians 3:1 NLT
