Praying For Others Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 13, 2011

Sometimes we wonder how to pray for missionaries and other leaders we have never met. Paul had never met the Colossians, but he faithfully prayed for them. His prayers teach us how to pray for others, whether we know them or not.

Praying For Action

Contributed by Chris Surber on Oct 20, 2007

Time Out, Time In Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 24, 2003
