Prayer changes things. I do believe that much of what we have seen happen in our church in the past year was the result of all of you praying faithfully for the church every day for so long. Even when I called others who had left the church years ago, many of them still said they were praying for First Christian Church. And I know that there are still many here who pray faithfully for each other, for our church, for my ministry and for my family, and for those other needs in our church body. Prayer makes a big difference.
