PRAYERlines – January 2025

“The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity. If we want to see mighty wonders of divine power and grace wrought in the place of weakness, failure and disappointment, let us answer God’s standing challenge, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not!'” – J. Hudson Taylor

Praise God . . . Answered Prayers

Ten individuals are signed up for an 8 week Grief Recovery Group in Parry Sound beginning in January.
The Rising Above Band had and excellent weekend of ministering in Saskatchewan. There was an encouraging reconnection with some people they met at the Rising Above conference in Saskatoon twenty years ago.
Praise the Lord for his provision and a year filled with joy as we serve the city of Regina.
