7 Prayer Points for Grace House

This is the prayer points I shared with our GH family Sunday. We are agreeing together to see the following culture and atmosphere cultivated in our midst.

WE, AS THE GRACE HOUSE FAMILY, AGREE & DECLARE THAT:
1. Our family members will be saved, in love with God, & fulfilling their destiny.
2. There will be no sickness or premature death in our midst.
3. Our marriages & families will live in unity & peace & joy.
4. We will live in faith with no lack breaking the power of the curse of poverty.
5. We will be emotionally & mentally healthy.
6. We will be protected & delivered from evil.
7. We will be spiritually equipped & engaged in the Kingdom of God reaching
people for Jesus Christ.

GIVE-A-KID-A-CHANCE

Mission Project for July

Help us help children in the area by giving to this very worthwhile community need. Your financial gifts will help provide back to school supplies to children in need in our area. There are also opportunities to serve at this wonderful event. You will have the opportunity to give the last two weeks of July in the commons area at Grace House. Please be in prayer about what the Lord would have you give. A $50.00 gift goes a long way in helping supply each child with what they need to go back to school including clothes, backpack, supplies; and, other services are provided as well. Beginning Sunday, July 24th and 31st we will have a giving box in the common area for your financial gifts. Checks are to be made out to Grace House and we will see that GAKC receives all that is given.
