This Week 2/1 @HOPE

Ways to Pray & Praise this Week for our Community:
1. Prayer for our Community:Unity Christ's prayer for us was that we would be one. Let's agree with Him! Lord, we ask that the believers in Northwest Indiana would be one. May we be united in the Spirit for Your kingdom sake. May the world see the love we have for one another and be drawn to Jesus. May we walk in unity, blessing and not cursing each other. May we partner together for the Kingdom and see the kingdom expanded. May we rejoice with each other, cry with each other, praise God with each other. May we honor one another as we see Christ in all. May we all bring glory to the Father!

2. Church/Ministry of the Week: Portage Missionary Baptist Church
This week we are praying for Portage Missionary Baptist Church. We thank God for their pastor, Jeff Scheffee, and for this body of believers. Praise God for their faithfulness to Him and to His word. May they continue to be a shining light for Jesus Christ and fulfill the mission given them by Christ.
