"Prayer
honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power,
adores
His providence, secures His aid." E.M. Bounds
Would you pray with us for state coordinators/directors; these men and women are
key leaders in the ministry of CEF.
Kansas, Mississippi,
Rhode Island, Vermont and
Washington, DC each need such a leader. Would you ask God to provide His chosen
leaders for these states? This
month, our intercession is focused on Vermont.
