We are gathering a team of prayer warriors to pray for Vancouver and vancouver Island every day at 10:02 am and pm. As we pray this week for our city will we prepare our hearts and minds to be sensitive to the voice of God as Samuel did:
“And the Lord came and stood, calling as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant hears.” I Samuel 3:10 ESV
Join us in praying over the activity of God…
