"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people."

Ephesians 6:18

Prayer is Powerful. Generosity is Powerful.
When the Two Come Together, Hope Grows.

We are inviting people to pray and inviting others to support the ministry that grows out of those prayers. Volunteers commit to pray for those facing cancer while friends and family sponsor their participation.
