Prayer Partners
Are you called to pray? Re:Frame Media, the English media ministry of Back to God Ministries International, hears from many people around the world who are touched by their ministries on radio and the web, with many asking for prayer. And so Prayer Partners pray for them. The requests are for many different things--spiritual and physical, financial and housing, and recurring concerns for family relationships. As a Prayer Partner, you would receive people’s different requests and then be asked to pray for them for one month. To volunteer for this special ministry, contact Barbara Brouwer at bbrouwer@crcna.org.
