Everyone can’t go on a Missions Trip to Southern West Virginia, but everyone can pray. That is why we are asking for prayer partners for the rest of 2015 and for 2016.
West Virginia, like many states in Appalachia, is a mix of wealth and poverty. There are areas that are prosperous and areas that are struggling. Remember, whatever you do for the least of these, you do for Him (Matt. 25:40). This includes prayer! Praying for those who are in need is just as important as physically serving those who are in need.
Here is a list of prayer requests for Southern West Virginia:
1- Pray for those struggling with drug addiction and their families.
