World Prayer Map Displayed in Creekside

We are so blessed to freely worship and proclaim Christ here in America. Not everyone experiences our freedom. Over the past couple of months we have taken the opportunity to briefly introduce the students to a new/different country whose believers are enduring persecution and/or hostility for their faith. We then pray for our brothers and sisters in that country. We have hung a huge wall map in the Creekside Room that color codes the countries that are hostile towards Christians.

Please pray with us for the persecuted Church and for Christ to be glorified in all of our lives whether in freedom or in bondage.
