Prayer for International Worker, Holly Woodworth
Holly Woodworth is working in Miami with the Christian & Missionary Alliance. The team in Miami just finished the third straight week of hosting teams from churches. It has been a bit tiring. Pray for endurance and safety. Also, pray for the details of her transition from Pennsylvania to Miami. She has spent hours trying to set up insurances and registrations. Lastly, pray for her language skills (Creole and Spanish) and navigation of the required classes to proceed.
You can learn more about Holly by picking up a copy of our “Prayer Guide for World Missions” at the Missions Table, near the entrance of the Worship Center. You can partner with Holly in ministry by giving to the Great Commission Fund.
Do You Have a Prayer Request or Praise?
"Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere" (Ephesians 6:18, NLT).
The staff and elders at FAC would love to pray for you. Send your request or praise to Pastor Scott through the form below.
