Prayer Connections
Prayer is the foundation of everything we do at Encompass World Partners. We ask the Lord to send out workers (Luke 10:2). We ask the Lord to grow our ministries (1 Cor 3:7). We recognize our full dependence on Him in everything we do.
We need your prayers to reach those who have never heard the gospel. Will you pray with us and for us?
Here are some resources on prayer that may help you as you pray for our missionaries and their ministries:
