“National Prayer Day”
As we continue to keep Mother Ballentine, Mother Bogan, Brother Eric, and their families lifted in prayer, we kindly ask everyone to please allow them time to rest and recuperate.

Before attempting to visit, please notify the family first. We know that rest is one of the best medicines for the body, and we want to support them with love, wisdom, and consideration during this time.

Thank you all for your prayers, kindness, and understanding. ❤️

Today is the National Day of Prayer, a day set aside to seek God together in prayer for our families, churches, communities, and those in need.
As you go throughout your prayer devotion on today, please remember Mother Ballentine, Brother Eric and Mother Bogan, who are both in the hospital. Let us pray for healing, strength, and God’s divine touch. Also, remember others who may be laying upon your heart and mind today.

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” — Epistle of James 5:16.
