Claiming Faith – A Journey toward the Harvest
Claiming Faith is an initiative to mobilize Georgia women to prayer walk non-Christian houses of worship. Most cities in our state have many non-Christian houses of worship, with 200 identified in the metro-Atlanta area alone! While we love the people we know that only through prayer will the strongholds of idol worship and false religions be broken! Will you and your women’s group commit to prayer walk a Claiming Faith location in your community for one year? Contact Beth Ann Williams for help connecting with a Claiming Faith location at 1-800-746-4422, ext. 327. |
