Missions Focus: Please be praying for Joel & Adrienne Charest. They are missionaries in Mozambique that we support monthly as a church. Please be praying for the local church leadership as they face persecution. Pray for the Charests as they are settling into life in Florida as they start a year of itineration.

Local: Pray for people in your world that are seeking hope, purpose, connection, direction… Seek to be a part of God answering that prayer.

Church: Pray for God's provision for Corner Church. Pray about being a part of answering this prayer.
