STRATEGIC PRAYER INITIATIVE
How does it work?
Daily Connection - The goal is for each Regional and Area Leader to be in contact with one minister per day. You may choose whom you pray for from the list of ministers in your area or region.
Text/Email - Prayer takes on a practical role when you send a text or email to one minister per day. This can be a scripture and written prayer. You are also encouraged to ask how you can pray for the minister you are reaching out to.
