March Prayer Guide

Praise God

Join Pastor Ken Durham and Juncture Church as they praise God for the works he is doing in and through the church. Pastor Durham reports, “K. was saved yesterday. A. and D. surrendered their lives to pastoral ministry. Before that at Hot Hearts on Friday and Saturday, one of our students was saved, four rededicated their lives, and one of the five surrendered their lives to ministry, also! Look what the Lord has done! He is great!”
