Excerpt from Prayers for the People, a free yearlong guide to prayer for CBF missions and ministries.
Order the Prayers of the People prayer calendar as a way of remembering CBF missions and ministries throughout the year. |
Approximately 80 percent of the people of Edgewood, a neighborhood two miles east of downtown Atlanta, are not actively involved in church. Carrie and Nathan Dean have been working for nearly a year to build relationships and trust with organizations and individuals in Edgewood in order to start a church. This month, they hope to begin monthly worship services. Please pray that the development of grassroots, local support and interest in Edgewood Church will continue to expand. Pray also that the Deans’ leadership will be marked by courage, wisdom, and attentiveness to God’s direction. Visit www.edgewoodchurchatlanta.org to learn more about this ministry.
