CORPORATE PRAYER
Pray for our Ministry Partners
SELINA PUNITHAN AT CREDO UTS
· Praise God that despite the difficulties we faced, we were still able to carry out our mission at UTS and invite people to get to know Jesus.
· Pray that the impact left by the messages and Mark Drama would encourage people to get to know Jesus for themselves personally.
· Praise God for the increase in students for our faculty grow groups this semester.
· Pray that grow groups would be little communities that welcome anyone - those who know Christ and those who don’t.
· Pray for Credo as we seek to be bold with the gospel through these events and that God would work through our efforts to make Christ known at UTS.
