We are praying for the churches in our association who are without pastors.  We are praying for the Father to clearly call out pastors for each site and for the inspiration of the Spirit in lives of each body to confirm that calling in uncommon unity.  We are also praying for the development of cooperation among leaders within our association beyond anything we have experienced that we might be a demonstration of the work of God in our midst.
