Missions Focus: Please be praying for Joseph & Jozeca M, missionaries we support monthly who serve in a sensitive region. Pray for financial provision for them, as their budget needs to increase with a growing family and a planned move to a new location in the next year.

Local: God’s character in Scripture is that He entrusts humanity in the midst of humanity’s needs. Pray for God to supernaturally meet needs that surround us, and that we all would be trustworthy in our part of meeting those needs.

Church: Pray for Corner Church Downtown and our launch of healthy weekly services this fall!
