PRAYING FOR THE WEEKENDS

Sign-up for the Prayer Banner!! 

 

Palanca is fervent, sacrificial prayer. We still need prayer palanca for both the Men's and Women's Weekends. It is important to pray for the participants, team and the events of each weekend.

The prayer banner is shown to the participants on Friday afternoon during the Grace In Action Rollo. Seeing all the names that are praying for them during the entire weekend, is very powerful to them. It helps them to see that a whole community of people are supporting them, caring about them and loving them!

How we handle our prayer charts has changed and is easier than before. We are now using www.3dayol.org for our prayer charts. Please follow the links below.
