30 Days of Prayer Challenge

Each year we like to put out a challenge to you (and us!) to spend a month in prayer for Paulite Jean and Haitian Ministries. Pastors cannot win the battle alone; they need committed intercessors to lift them up in fervent, specific prayer. Imagine how the power of God might be released in our churches if we were to pray faithfully for our pastors. There is no greater gift you can give your pastor and the spiritual leaders of your church than to pray for them. The 30 Day Challenge starts ion Saturday, September 1, 2024. A prayer prompt and scripture will be provided each day.  Below is a PDF of the 30 Day Prayer Challenge along with printed prompts for each day if you prefer.
