Church but especially for the Ministries. Please get your goals and
your team together. They will be prayed for and anointed. Each
ministry will be allowed 2 minutes to say what you are about and 5
minutes when the different prayer groups will pray for your ministry
and your goals. It is important that ALL MINISTRIES be involved.
