Matthew 9:38 Prayer Rhythm
This week, we invite you to set an alarm for 9:38 each day and pause to pray Matthew 9:38. Let’s ask the Lord of the harvest to raise up and send workers into His field. Your faithful prayers make a difference as we trust God to call and equip more people for His mission.
