Ephesians 4:16 From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Pray for: Mark & Andrea Michael as they are working with Great Europe Mission in Scotland to strengthen local churches and plant new churches. While we don’t often think of Scotland as a mission field, churches are weak and failing there.

Pray for: New City Church and their pastor Patrick McConnell.
