Intercession
This blog is a way of coming together – people from all over the world, whatever their culture, ideology or religion – requesting prayer and praying for each other’s needs. There are no conditions for such requests apart from having even the smallest faith in the power of prayer. We believe in the God for whom “nothing is impossible”.
Go now to the intercession area.
