Prayer for Breakthrough

Church planting is front-lines Kingdom work. All of our church planters have to fight through discouragement, doubt and spiritual warfare. As we are in the process of launching many new churches, this month I wanted to share some detailed and specific prayer requests that our church planters are relying on the Lord to answer. Jesus is the light in the darkness, and he calls us to bring His light to dark places. Would you consider praying for these requests and sharing them with the prayer warriors at your church? We are desperate for spiritual breakthrough that only the Lord can bring.
