Scripture:

2 Cor. 5:19 “in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us…”

• Pray that the message of reconciliation would be proclaimed throughout the city.
• Pray that the churches would be strengthened and encouraged in the Lord.
• Pray that they will find practical ways to serve their city.
