    The story of Jabez shows that it doesn't matter who we are, what our parents have decided for us, or even the future we are 'destined' for: what matters is knowing what we want to be and above all, asking it of God.

    Today, we will explore the inspiring story of Jabes and his powerful prayer. This narrative teaches us that our identity, our past, and even our future do not determine our destiny. What truly matters is knowing what we want to become and, above all, seeking it from God. The story of Jabes takes ...read more

    God seeks ordinary people willing to pray and stand in the gap, using their faithfulness to bring hope, healing, and change to a broken world.

    Some of the greatest moments in the Bible begin with God looking for a person. Not a celebrity. Not a committee. A person. A shepherd with a sling. A teenage girl with a “yes.” A fisherman with a net. Heaven leans over the balcony and asks, “Who will stand? Who will say yes? Who will carry My heart ...read more
