Getting Involved

RESPONSE

We may wonder how we can respond to the suffering and the persecution of our brothers and sisters in Christ. In regard to our own salvation, we are powerless on our own. Jesus said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). That is why prayer is the basis for all that we do. In prayer, we acknowledge the One who made us and place our faith in the One who can meet others’ needs as well as our own. Prayer, then, is one of our most powerful tools for action. Contact us to find out how to become a prayer partner.
