This Week’s Prayer Prompts 

This week's prayer is about pastoral ministry.

Pray for those in pastoral ministry, that God will equip them with everything they need spiritually and emotionally to lead their congregations. Pray for those involved in other forms of ministry who respond to both local and global needs, as they begin to plan what ministry will look during the fall.

Each week, we also list an EFC affiliate organization to pray for. This week, pray for One Way Ministries, which exists to help Christian leaders thrive and make an impact in their families, communities, and in the city at large.
