PRAY FOR THE LOCAL CHURCHES & MISSIONARIES

Prayer is vital to the success of the ministry.


Over the past few years I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet several of the pastors and missionaries in the Voronezh region. What has been remarkable is how young and passionate they are.


They have shared some of the praises and prayer requests. Please consider lifting them up in prayer...
