Thursday, May 7, 2015 Ellen Channon

Pray
Tuesday, November 10, 2026 – In Asia — A new friend shared about how he uses his business to support his church planting movement ministries in three countries. Pray that this business could easily be set up in our area and it would support our national workers financially. Pray as well for wisdom to know where to reach out with the gospel these next months, and to stand strong through persecution.
