Cultivating Your Prayer Team |
|
|
|
|
By Paul Covert
Several years ago, our church took a missions trip to Mexico City to help plant a new church. We
took intercessors to prayerwalk the area, a sports team to create relationships and draw people
to the final community outreach where our musicians gave a major concert.
