WHAT IS PRAYER MINISTRY?
People praying with love for one another’s needs as led by God’s Spirit.
We all have needs in our lives - worries and concerns about our family, health, jobs, decisions to be made etc. Prayer ministry is an opportunity to share those needs with others who will pray with you.
