Final Thoughts
We believe in the power of prayer. Our goal is to see communities transformed across America. That happens one family at a time. We know lives are being changed. We see the reports and statistics everyday (read Answered Prayer). We pray in expectation knowing that God can and will make a difference if we seek Him, turn from our ways and repent (II Chronicles 7:14).
We also know that organizing prayer is not easy. However, if you feel led, we would encourage you to get involved in your community. Transformation begins in prayer, but James tells us that faith without action is lost. Prayerfully consider one of the following opportunities:
- Lead a Small Group in your church or home
- Join or start a Bible Study through Stonecroft Bible Studies or your local church home.
- Volunteer at your local soup kitchen
- Become part of Prison Fellowship
- Serve resources and food to the poor and hungry with Convoy of Hope
- Volunteer with the Salvation Army
You should know, we are not expecting you to fill stadiums with people. The Scriptures tell us that where 2 or more are gathered, there He is in their midst (Matthew 18:20). So, start simple and enjoy the journey. Organizing prayer is exciting and we are delighted you have joined us in this ministry to our nation.
Together we can make a difference!
