Mountain Mover Prayer Fellowship – December 2014

 

In everything I did, I showed you

that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak,

remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said:

‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

Acts 20:35

In December’s prayer fellowship we:

  • celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.
  • pray for safe travels and happy reunions for students heading home for Christmas
  • pray for children in orphanages and students living in dormitories who are unable to celebrate Christmas with family
