NOVEMBER 29 – DECEMBER 6
Week of Prayer for International Missions is an opportunity for churches to join in prayer for the work of missionaries who take the gospel to people in cities and extreme places.
It’s also a time to reflect on giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® that supports them.
