Reaching out to our neighbors.

Pray that God would give you a heart of compassion for all people.

Pray that God would provide opportunities to share the gospel.
“At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison.”
(Colossians 4:3)

Pray for courage to present the gospel boldly and clearly.
“[Pray] also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel.”
(Ephesians 6:19)
