Worldwide Ministry

Pray
Thursday, October 1, 2026 – In Canada — Recently we witnessed a powerful move of the Holy Spirit in the life of our sister, "Huzaifa". Since choosing to follow Jesus Christ, her journey has come at significant personal cost.

God's Word began working deeply in "Huzaifa's" heart. Pray for Huzaifa's* growth in the Lord.
