Your APRIL Prayer Guide
God of
hope and
healing
This month as we celebrate the resurrection of our
Lord and Savior, I urge you to take time to meet
God in His Word and spend extra time in prayer.
Through His Son, God has provided us all the
HOPE OF A NEW BEGINNING!
“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life.
Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he
live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall
never die. Do you believe this?’” (John 11:25-26 ESV).
My prayer this month is that you find the hope
and healing Jesus Christ came to give. I also hope
you will join us in regular prayer for our ministry
together. Just use this prayer guide to stand with
us in proclaiming the Gospel!
Our Precept Online Community at precept.org/poc
provides resources for our faithful friends like you.
Check it out!
Thank you and God bless you,
